The workshop on The Very Large Telescope Interferometer: Challenges
for the Future, which was part of JENAM 2002 organised by Sociedade
Portuguesa de Astronomia, took place at the Departamentos de
Matematica Aplicada e Matemclt- ica Pura da Universidade do Porto
(FCUP) from the 5th to the 7th of September 2002. The Very Large
Telescope Interferometer (VLTI) is the major interferometric
facility in the world, operated by the European Southern
Observatory. It is a unique facility as it is available to the
community and has a sensitivity that will bring into reach vast
classes of objects in the fields of planet searches, star formation
and evolution and extragalatic astrophysics. The VLTI was open to
the community on a shared risk basis in March 2002. This workshop
was therefore an ideal place to obtain a broad view of optical
interferometry and its scientific prospects. The workshop started
with a presentation of the basics of interferometry the-
ory/practice, then of the VLT, Keck and LBT interferometers. The
VLTI instru- ments MIDI and AMBER were introduced to its users as
well as specific cal- ibration and modelling tools. The bulk of the
workshop addressed astrophysics being currently done with
interferometers with very high quality reviews in the fields star
formation, imaging, pulsating stars, Mira stars, active stellar
shells and extragalactic astronomy. The workshop featured some
talks presenting fresh VLTI data using the VINCI commissioning
instrument.
