I present an overview of the VERA (VLBI Exploration of Radio Astrometry) project. I summarize the properties of the VERA array and its observational system as well as the current construction status, and I also present a brief overview of the science targets of VERA, including dynamics of the Galaxy and internal kinematics of maser sources.
