“…The increasing quality of the science return of VLBI has led to a solid user interest in the technique. Moreover, it has been demonstrated [6] that VLBI can enhance the scientific impact of space missions, in planetary explorations or fundamental physics. Probably related to this, there are many national initiatives to establish new local VLBI elements.…”

Almost two decades after the establishment of the Joint Institute for VLBI in Europe (JIVE), the European VLBI Network is a thriving scientific infrastructure with a significant user community and a healthy proposal pressure. It offers opportunities to address a breadth of important scientific topics, which feature in national and European astronomy roadmaps. Most of these science themes call for further enhancements of the sensitivity and image quality delivered by VLBI networks. The exceptional progress of e-VLBI over the last five years demonstrates how sensitive VLBI should be done in the future. At the same time JIVE is pushing the technology for large capacity correlators that can connect VLBI networks with many elements in real-time. Indeed, many new initiatives to build or outfit telescopes for VLBI are emerging from around the world. The technological VLBI developments have a great synergy with the SKA preparations. This is recognized in the SKA pathfinder role that e-VLBI has in the European VLBI Network for exploring connectivity and real-time science techniques. Moreover, VLBI with its locally visible elements offers great possibilities for training and outreach. With the new scientific capabilities, especially those complementary to other SKA pathfinders, VLBI will be a flourishing scientific instrument for the future.Resolving the Sky -Radio Interferometry: Past, Present and Future
