Second EuroVO-AIDA Research Initiative:
Within the framework of AIDA (Astronomical Infrastructure for Data Access), the EURO-VO project is seeking proposals from teams carrying out astronomical projects that may benefit from the Virtual Observatory concept. The projects are to make use of the Virtual Observatory tools and applications, that allow users to access a huge variety of reduced multiwavelength data and perform high-level analysis of images, spectra and large tabular datasets. The successful projects will receive support from EURO-VO astronomers to complete their goals. Interested teams should send their applications no later than July 15, 2009. More details can be obtained from the contact persons.

Onlince Science Tutorials: The first EuroVO-AIDA release of end-to-end Science Tutorials using VO tools and services, including cases from galactic and extragalactic astronomy.

Euro-VO AIDA Workshop on how to publish data in the VO:
The EURO-VO project is organizing the "EURO-VO Workshop on how to publish data in the VO" at ESAC in Villafranca del Castillo, near Madrid on 22-26 June 2009. The workshop will be held in the framework of the EURO-VO Astronomical Infrastructure for Data Access (AIDA). The workshop is geared towards data centres and large projects to acquire the knowledge and experience necessary to allow them to become "publishers" in the VO. In tutorials and hands-on sessions, participants will be introduced to VO protocols in the view of publishing their data holdings through the VO. Participants are encouraged to bring some samples of their data to the workshop, so they can work on real examples and ensure they can build the corresponding VO services when they come back to their data centres.
