Mission
The mission of the Bolivian Virtual Observatory (BVO) is to democratize access to astronomical and astrophotographic research in Bolivia through free workshops and a network of remote telescopes in professional observatories. We seek to overcome the barriers of accessibility to high-quality telescopes and the high costs of acquiring scientific data, providing an accessible platform for students, educators and amateur astronomers. Our goal is to train participants in astronomical observation and data processing, encouraging the development of meaningful research and the advancement of astronomy education.
Vision
Our vision is to turn the Bolivian Virtual Observatory into a reference in astronomy and astrophotography training in Bolivia. We aspire to build a community of researchers and astronomy enthusiasts in Bolivia that uses advanced technologies for the study of astronomical phenomena. Through collaboration with international and national institutions, and through the use of telescopes in optimal locations, we aim to promote scientific and educational development, promoting astronomy as an educational and research tool in Bolivia.
