WP5 Event

Would it be interesting to propose Tuesday evening at our observing station on the hills (11km from Trieste) with a real AIDA Use Case live in our Esploracosmo lab? We set up a table Y/N on the web page of the 4th AIDA-VO Technology forum.

Around the observing station there are several places to eat (before the observation session) both in Italy and just across the (virtual ) border with Slovenia.
