I think it is very important to have an EduIG session during the next Interop in South Africa, if we want the interest group to survive. The May Interop is five days long and should easily accommodate EduIG.<br><br>The EduIG session could perhaps include also contributions that are more broadly relevant to VO and education than the "internal" developments that . After all, EduIG is meant to the be a contact point of the VO community with other communities interested in education, be they teachers or astronomers or even colleagues from other research fields.<br><br>Please, let me know if you think you are interested, and may contribute, to this "broad" Edu IG session. Feel free to extend this invitation to any colleagues of yours that may be interested. <br><br>Best regards<br>Massimo Ramella, </div><div>EduIG Chair<br><br>Note:<br>Although messages to my personal email address are welcome, please note that ivoa has the edu@ivoa.net mailing list that may be the most appropriate place where to discuss our EduIG session. <br></div><div><br></div><div><br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div><br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div data-marker="__SIG_PRE__">Massimo Ramella<br>INAF-Osservatorio astronomico di Trieste<br>via G.B.
