Abstrakt

We summarize the characteristics and status of the E-ELT METIS (alias

MIR) instrument and the VLTI second-generation instrument MATISSE. We

present selected science cases in the field of AGB stars. Emphasis is

given to the structure of molecular and dusty envelopes, dust

mineralogy, isotopic abundances, gas enrichment of galaxies, and

circumstellar disks.
