Apologies for cross-posting

RadioNet/AstroGrid workshop for radio data providers

  5-8 Dec 2006  Oxford, England

(following science workshop 4-5 Dec)

OPEN FOR REGISTRATION and ACCOMODATION BOOKING

This linked pair of workshops are aimed at astronomers, software
developers and other scientists who are
    1. interested in using VO tools for scientific research to compare
    and process data from all parts of the e-m spectrum (4-5 Dec),
    and/or
    2. involved with radio archives and large surveys or other data
    collections and pipelines (5-8 Dec).

Both workshops will be hands-one and you will exchange skills and
tackle data-related problems.  This may involve some preparatory work
(installing software, setting up access to a suitable data
collection).
