Goal: Make ESFRI and pathfinder data available in the VO framework.

– Adapt VO framework to ESFRI needs – Train and support astronomical community in VO science.

 

ESFRI projects: Both VO-consumers and VO-actors

Goal: Become familiar with VO-tools and VO-science

 145 participants from 15 European countries.  Not restricted to project's partners.  Material used in national schools in Spain,

Italy, Greece and Poland.

Train and support astronomical community

Summary

 The Virtual Observatory is a science-driver and THE way

to work with archive data.



In optimal agreement with the goals of the Open Universe Initiative:

 “Stimulate a dramatic increase of the utilization of space

science data, extending the potential of scientific discovery to new participants in all parts of the world”.
