Ray background. The second project is VITRUV, a second generation VLTI instrument for aperture synthesis<br />

imaging with eight telescopes (PI: F. Malbet from LAOG). VITRUV will permit to obtain completely new<br />

results in a large numbers of astrophysical domains and in particular compact objects. Both projects are in<br />

a R&D level and we (mainly P.O. Petrucci and G. Henri) participate, since the beginning, to the scientific<br />

specification of both instruments.<br />

Other new <strong>de</strong>velopments will come from the contact with all the astroparticle facilities such as Pierre Auger<br />

Observatory, Neutrino Observatory (NET Cube), Gravitational Wave Observatories (VIRGO, LISA). Within<br />

10 to 15 years, we can reasonably expect that fascinating astrophysics <strong>de</strong>velopments will stem from correlating<br />

gamma-rays, neutrino and gravitational bursts from Black Hole environments. The AGNs containing double<br />

quasars are the most promising sources of gravitational waves for LISA.<br />
