The first science instrument for the Very Large Telescope Interferometer, the Mid-infrared Instrument (MIDI), will be commissioned in November 2002 with anticipated first fringes during that commissioning run on the 40-cm Siderostats and the 8.2-meter Unit Telescopes. In this paper we describe scientific observation procedures developed for MIDI and describe how an observation run with the instrument is foreseen. Since the scientific observation procedures are still under development, this paper reflects the situation as it stands in August 2002. In the discussion we suggest how the synergy between MIDI and GENIE can be exploited through a possible instrument referred to as the MIDI-nuller. MIDI is being built by a consortium lead by the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy (MPIA Heidelberg), with contributions from among others ASTRON (Dwingeloo, The Netherlands), Leiden Observatory, Kiepenheuer-Institut für Sonnenphysik (Freiburg), University of Amsterdam, University of Meudon, and the University of Groningen.
