Long-baseline interferometry at optical and near-infrared wavelengths is an emerging technology which is quickly becoming a useful tool to investigate stellar atmospheres and to compare observations with models. Stellar atmosphere models have so far mainly been constrained by comparisons with stellar spectra which are integrated over the stellar disks. Interferometric observations provide spatially and spectrally resolved information and can thus provide important complementary observational information which can be compared to model predictions. Here, I summarize the different aspects on this topic which were discussed at a round table on Thursday, June 20, 2002, during IAU Symposium 210. This summary gives an overview on discussed interferometric facilities and techniques, concepts to study atmospheres by optical interferometry, and particular classes of objects. We conclude that more frequent interactions between the efforts of atmosphere modelling and interferometric observations promise to lead to increased confidence in stellar model atmospheres and to further advancement of the field in the next years.
