Observational astronomy has entered a phase of rapid change. The advent of a new generation of large ground based optical and infra-red telescopes has opened up new exciting possibilities for astronomical research and already has had a profound impact on key areas of astronomical research. These new facilities imply a shift in scientific emphasis of the smaller telescopes. Equally important is the economic impact of these new facilities as resources will naturally flow towards the largest telescopes and consequently the operation and development programmes for small and medium size telescopes will be under more pressure. In these changing circumstances the existing telescopes at ING will have to find a new role for the future. This implies that the use of the telescopes and future development of new instruments will have to be tightly focussed on future needs of the astronomical community.
