This school is aimed at giving to the students a good technical background on interferometry and especially how to do imaging and narrow-angle astrometry with it. Science that can be done with such techniques will be highlighted.

The first part of the school will provide the basis of interferometry theory and practice, including the very important notions of phase and of the uv-space. The principles of data reduction for visible and infra-red interferometric imaging will be presented and compared to the similar techniques for radio-interferometry. All these subjects will be strongly supported by practical sessions where the students will have the opportunity to experiment and try to reduce data themselves.

The second part of the school will be devoted to phase-referenced imaging techniques and to astrometry, to their scientific objectives, technical and astrophysical limitations. This includes as well several practical sessions and the preparation of a VLTI proposal.

Active galactic nuclei are a quickly evolving and exciting field of research at the forefront of modern astrophysics. The aim of this school is to present the most recent observational developments on AGNs and Supermassive Black Holes and to provide a description of these high angular resolution techniques with a special emphasis on observations with the Very Large Telescope Interferometer.
