Since the last report about the ESO Very Large Telescope in the Messenger (44, 37; June 1986), this project has passed an important milestone on its way towards realization. More than 80 scientists and engineers from the ESO member countries (and beyond) met in Venice by the end of September 1986. During one week they made a detailed assessment of this ambitious undertaking, which aims at the construction of the world's largest optical telescope. There was unanimous agreement that the present concept is near the optimal, that it is technologically feasible and can be realized within approximately 10 years after funding has been decided upon, and that it will allow European astronomers to perform new and spectacular investigations of the universe, unparalleled elsewhere. Completion is aimed at in 1998 but part of the VLT may become operational already in 1993.
