 +  * **Seminar at the University of Athens** 
 +     * Speakers: Ektoras Pouliasis & Zoi Spetsieri  
 +     * Duration: Six hours 
 +     * Date: March 2016 
 +     * Participants:​ 25 people (15 undergraduate + 10 Master students) 
 +     * Scope: Introduce participants in the VO world and show them the capabilities of the VO tools. In particular, we went through the tutorials of TopCat, Aladin, CDS (ViZier+Simbad) and also those of VOSpec, Splat-Vo and VOSA. 
 + 
 +     * **General conclusion of both seminars**: The response of all participants was really positive to all the VO tools and they were excited to use them in their own projects, mainly the undergraduate students.
