Scientific paper

During the last years, proposals have arisen for the next generation of ground-based telescopes, dubbed ELTs for Extremely Large Telesccopes. In these future telescopes the size of the primary range from 20m for the next generation CFHT (ng-CFHT) to 100m for the ESO OverWhelmingly Large telescope (OWL). If this next generation of telescopes represents a large step in optical design and opto-mechanical concepts it will particularly need advanced active and adaptive optics techniques. For the development of these techniques a large R&D effort will be necessary in the next 5-10 years. A review of the various ELTs projects and the associated R&D is presented.
