The VISTA near-infrared YJKs ESO public survey of the Magellanic Clouds
system (VMC) began observations in 2009. To date the survey is more than
1/3 complete and several results have already been obtained. These studies
confirm the superior quality of the data to meet the main objectives of
deriving spatially resolved star formation histories and the 3D structure
of the system as well as to contribute to a wealth of legacy science
studies.

In this presentation I will briefly review the status of the VMC survey
and then I will focus on measurements of the proper motion of stellar
populations across the Magellanic system. This is achieved by comparing
both the VMC data with the 2MASS data or by using VMC data alone for
different, by age, stars selected from colour-magnitude diagrams. The
implications of this study on the evolution of the Magellanic system will
also be discussed.
