International Virtual Observatory Alliance (IVOA) ‘Northern-Autumn’ Interoperability Meeting was held as an on-line event from November 2-4, 2021. It was the fourth Interoperability Meeting to be organised on-line due to the continuing COVID-19 virus global pandemic.

This meeting was held after the annual Astronomy Data Analysis and Software Systems (ADASS) conference continuing the well established practice of connecting ADASS and the shorter (2.5 day) of the two annual IVOA meetings. The web pages, including the detailed schedule of the meeting and the list of participants is available at the links in the table below.

This Interoperability Meeting was a formal milestone for the ESCAPE CEVO Work Package (ESCAPE Milestone 26 – Progress and priorities at IVOA(6)). The priorities of the ESCAPE partners have continued to be well represented at IVOA, as is demonstrated by the many  contributions and interactions of CEVO partners in the meeting. 

The means of verification for these milestones are the IVOA meeting website and the record of ESCAPE participation in the meeting.

This on-line Interoperability meeting gathered 182 participants for the 3 day meeting. The web pages, including the detailed schedule of the meeting and the list of participants is available at the links below.
