  Coupling dark energy to dark matter provides one of the simplest way to
effectively modify gravity at large scales without strong constraints from
local (i.e. solar system) observations. Models of coupled dark energy have been
studied several times in the past and are already significantly constrained by
cosmic microwave background experiments. In this paper we estimate the
constraints that future large-scale observations will be able to put on the
coupling and in general on all the parameters of the model. We combine cosmic
microwave background, tomographic weak lensing, redshift distortions and power
spectrum probes. We show that next-generation observations can improve the
current constraint on the coupling to dark matter by two orders of magnitude;
this constraint is complementary to the current solar-system bounds on a
coupling to baryons.
