VLT/I Instrumentation:Lessons Learned FORUM
G. Monnet (ESO) and R. Bacon (STC; CRAL)
Abstract
This paper is the result of a joint effort by ESO and its Scientific and Technical Com
mittee (STC) to extract the main lessons from last April's "VLT/VLTI Instrumentation:
Lessons learned" Forum and start applying them, in particular in the framework of the
development of second generation VLT -and soon VLTI- instruments. This is but one step
in a continuing effort to optimize these complex and challenging developments which i
nvolve a significant fraction of Europe's astronomical instrument builders in the near
-UV to mid-IR range. With a major effort in the European radio community to build mult
iple receiver systems for ALMA now being pursued at an accelerated pace, it was also v
ital to revisit very quickly our whole procurement strategy in this area.
