Summary
MAVIS is a Multi-Conjugate Adaptive Optics system to serve compensated visible images to an imager and a spectrograph. ESO released a Phase A call for proposal in May, with a phase A likely to start early 2019. On behalf of the MAVIS consortium, including Australian nodes (AAO-Stromlo and AAO-MQ) and European nodes (INAF & LAM), I will present the main characteristics of this ambitious instrument, its promises and its challenges.
