Scientific paper
1999 will be the first year of the VLT scientific operations, yet this will not be the only novelty brought by the new year. In 1999 the flow of scientific data from the old La Silla Observatory will be several times higher than in 1998. Indeed, with the full dedication of the ESO/MPIA 2.2-m telescope to wide-field imaging, the ESO community will have for the first time an efficient survey instrument: the 8k ´ 8k camera covering a 0.54° ´ 0.54° field of view. In the meantime, the construction is about to start of a new 2.5-m telescope to be placed on Paranal by 2001, which will have a four times bigger field of view (and data flow rate). This sudden expansion of ESO widefield imaging and survey capabilities requires a major effort by both ESO and its community, in order to take full advantage of these new facilities that are primarily designed to support and foster the science to be done with the VLT.
