- Abstract
In this talk I will present the new ESO public survey VISIONS. Starting
in early 2017 we will use the ESO VISTA survey telescope in a 550 h long
programme to map the largest molecular cloud complexes within 500 pc in
a multi-epoch program. The survey is optimized for measuring the proper
motions of young stellar objects invisible to Gaia and mapping the
cloud-structure with extinction. VISIONS will address a series of ISM
topics ranging from the connection of dense cores to YSOs and the
dynamical evolution of embedded clusters to variations in the reddening
law on both small and large scales.
