Project Partners 

 

The VOTECH project was a collaborative project undertaken by a number of separate partners across Europe.  The work effort was spread out over a number of independent organizations and coordinated by workpackage (DS) leaders who were distributed around the partners.  This page lists the project partners and contributing institutions within each partner.  A brief description of each and a link to the official websites are provided.

In addition to the formal partners below, we worked closely with colleagues at the European Space Astronomy Centre of the European Space Agency.
