The new Radio Telescope is opened for the scientific community interested in Radio Astronomy. The goal of SPIDER is to provide the opportunity for students and visitors to operate a real radio telescope, in the environment of the Yebes observatory, as the 40 meter dish is not accessible to them. The instrument can be operated remotely via internet. Many of the applications are still to be designed, in coordination with other EVN observatories which are part of the network of Visitor Centres (VC-Net) sponsored by the EC FP7 project “RadioNet”.
