| Abstract: |
We present here ASTROVIRTEL: a project supported by the European Commission within the ``Enhanced Access to Research Infrastructures'' action. ASTROVIRTEL is already being used by European astronomers as a Virtual Telescope, enabling them to access a huge amount of astronomical data with the support of the ASTROVIRTEL personnel. At the same time, operating ASTROVIRTEL---that is, being involved in the definition of the user requirements, and in the implementation of the necessary tools--- is an ideal way to get acquainted with the scientific drivers and the technology required to build a Virtual Observatory. |
