Dear Colleague, 

The ASTROVIRTEL Project, supported by the European Commission 
and managed by the ST-ECF on behalf of ESA and ESO, is aimed 
at enhancing the scientific return of the ST-ECF/ESO Archive. 
It offers the possibility to European Users to exploit it as 
a virtual telescope, retrieving and analysing large quantities 
of data with the assistance of archive operators and scientific
personnel. The first cycle of operation of the ASTROVIRTEL 
project is almost completed and some interesting results 
have already been achieved.  

We are now announcing the Second Call for ASTROVIRTEL Proposals. 
Detailed instructions for the submission of proposals can be found
at http://www.stecf.org/astrovirtel/. 

The deadline for submission is June 15th, 2001. 

ASTROVIRTEL is an initiative financed by the European Commission under 
the scheme "Enhanced Access to Large Infrastructures" and therefore is 
open to European scientists from EC Member and Associated States 
[for a list of these states, see 
http://www.stecf.org/astrovirtel/ECStates.html]. 

Do not hesitate to contact us if you need further information. The 
ASTROVIRTEL email address is 
astrovirtel AT eso.org
 . 

Best regards, 

Piero Benvenuti, Head / ST-ECF
