  We present an overview of what can be done in the field of star formation
using the VLT and its advanced instrumentation, and especially with the very
high angular resolution provided by the VLT in the VLTI mode. Herbig-Haro
objects and early stellar evolution, pre-main sequence binaries, circumstellar
disks and surface properties of young stars are investigated. We show that the
VLT and VISA will be not only very useful to better understand star formation
processes, but indeed necessary in order to advance in certain subjects.
