Abstract
The initial mass function (IMF) is an important, yet enigmatic aspect of the star formation process. The two major open questions regarding the IMF are: is the IMF constant regardless of environment? Is the IMF a universal property of star formation? The next generation of extremely large telescopes will allow us to observe further, fainter and more compact stellar clusters than is possible with current facilities. In these proceeding we present our study looking at just how much will these future observatories improve our knowledge of the IMF.
