The European Virtual Observatory EURO-VO

The EURO-VO project aims at deploying an operational Virtual Observatory (VO) in Europe. Its objectives are technology take-up and VO compliant resource provision, building the technical infrastructure and to support its utilization by the scientific community.

News & Highlights

Euro-VO AIDA School 2009:
The Virtual Observatory (VO) is opening up new ways of exploiting the huge amount of data provided by the ever-growing number of ground-based and space facilities. The goals of the School, held at ESO, in Garching near Munich, are to expose European astronomers to the variety of VO tools and services available today so that they can use them efficiently for their own research.
To achieve these goals, VO experts will lecture and tutor the participants on the usage of such tools. Real life examples of scientific applications will be given, some of them selected from the science cases that participants will be asked to submit at the time of registration. A large fraction of the time will be dedicated to hands-on exercises, which will allow participants to become fully familiar with the VO capabilities.
Deadline for registration is February 15, 2009. For more details, visit the workshop's web page.
