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.
