INAF-OATs, in collaboration with INAF-SI (VObs.it), several INAF sections and italian Universities, is organizing a series of "one-and-a-half-day" workshops, called VO-days, devoted to the scientific application of Virtual Observatory (VO) techniques and tools. The VO-days will be held in different italian institutions (more information at the page: http://wwwas.oats.inaf.it/voday/).

The Napoli VO-day, jointly organized by the local section INAF-OACN and the Department of Physics of the University of Napoli Federico II, will take place on 09-10th February 2010. It is encouraged the use of your notebook during use cases. There are no restrictions about the OS installed.

The list of partecipants, regularly updated, can be found here.
