The ASTERICS project is organising an international Virtual Observatory school at the Centro de Astrobiología, Madrid, Spain.
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, as well as by computer simulations. The goal of the school is twofold:
-
Expose European astronomers and representatives of the ESFRI projects involved in ASTERICS to the variety of VO tools and services available today so that they can use them efficiently for their own research.
-
Gather requirements and feedback from participants.
