29 August 2022 VLTI status update

Abstract
After the pause imposed by the pandemic, VLTI resumed science operations and restarted technical activities aiming to close commissionings of different modes. While the community develops projects of visiting instruments, the VLTI infrastructure is about to be significantly upgraded with new visible AO and laser guide star systems by the GRAVITY+ project. VLTI operations also evolve, in particular to support imaging programmes, but also towards a more automated and integrated model. In this context, we will present a review of current capabilities, ongoing activities and future plans for the VLTI.
