Proposers are strongly encouraged to check the Call for news items and a description of instruments and policies.

ISAAC proposals are accepted on a limited basis as it is likely to be decommissioned in P89 to allow for the installation of SPHERE. NACO maybe decommissioned at the end of the period in order to allow for the installation of MUSE.

Proposals are also invited for observations at the Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) within the framework of the accession agreement of Spain into ESO. ESO/GTC proposals can be submitted for observations to be carried out before 31 December 2012.
