Annonce transmise par Nicolas André (IRAP)

 

We would like to draw your attention to the VESPA call for data services 2020. 

 
VESPA is an activity in the new Europlanet-2024 programme, an EC-funded project aimed at making Planetary Science data available to the scientific community in the framework of the Virtual Observatory. Between 4 and 5 projects are selected through yearly calls to enlarge the data content accessible via the VESPA portal (http://vespa.obspm.fr/). 
A common workshop is then organized with the selected participants to help them design and set up their project, and to open it to the users community.
We invite you to submit an application to the call which text is copied below. Selected teams receive an invitation for 2 persons for the 4-days workshop (this year in Toulouse, France).
