First of all, thank you for your participation in the  Workshop and your valuable contribution. Although we know that writing up conference proceedings is an effort we have decided to do it this time because:

• the written record of the presentations will be an important element in shaping the future of the VLT/I operations and instrumentation
• unlike most purely scientific workshops, most of this material will probably not be published elsewhere
• similar books in the past already have real legacy value and interest for the development of our field. We therefore hope that you will all take the trouble to write and submit your manuscripts.

Details are:

• Publication: Springer Astrophysics and Space Science Proceedings
• Type: Printed plus ebook versions
• Page limits: Invited talks 7; Contributed talks 5; Posters 2. Longer papers may be rejected.
• Illustrations: Can be included in colour and will appear in colour in the ebook version but in black and white in the printed version
• Author copies: All first authors will receive a free copy of the printed book.
