China-VO
The China-VO service portal will be upgraded and re-designed under the name of new endorsed National Astronomical Data Center (NADC). The upgraded system will act as two roles: a FAIRable (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable) data repository and a whole life-cycle science platform for research projects, observation teams, individual astronomers, amateur astronomers and the public. Virtual Observatory and Cloud Computing technologies will be used heavily during the upgrade and re-design. In the coming years, FAST (Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope) and EP (Einstein Probe mission) will be specially supported by the China-VO as leading projects in radio astronomy and time-domain astronomy separately. During the last decade, LAMOST, a very successful spectroscopic sky survey project, has always been serviced as the key partner of the China-VO.

ESA
ESA VO activities are being carried out by the
ESAC Science Data Centre and will focus in the following main areas:
- Ensure ESA astronomical archives are FAIR and accessible through VO protocols. Main developments planned for 2020 are, among others, the Gaia eDR3 data release with datalink connections to the new spectral and light-curve collections, TAP interfaces for Gaia, ESASky, the ESA Hubble archive, the XMM-Newton archive and the Herschel Science archive.
- Develop further VO compliant tools, in particular ESASky and ESA Datalabs.
- Operate and maintain the Euro-VO Registry.
- Participate to the IVOA activities.
- Liaise with other international alliances, in particular IPDA and IHDEA
