Welcome to the Euro-VO AIDA Astronomical Infrastructure for Data Access

-- The project is finished and its Website is now an Archive - changes are not taken into account --

This is the web-based collaboration area of the Euro-VO Astronomical Infrastructure for Data Access project. This project is supported by EU in the framework of the FP7 eInfrastructure Scientific Research Repositories initiative (project RI2121104). It started on 1 February 2008, for a duration of 30 months.

The EuroVO-AIDA project ended on 31 July 2010. The Euro-VO activities continues in the partner countries and in the European international organisations ESA and ESO. Cooperation at the European and international level will be maintained for one year through a small 'bridging' project, Euro-VO International Cooperation Empowerment (EuroVO-ICE, summary in the CORDIS site, project TWiki), EuroVO-ICE is a Coordination Action supported by EU in the framework of the FP7 initiative (INFRA-2010-2.3.3 Research Infrastructures, project 261541). It started on 1 September 2010.
