What do I need to put on the project web site?

The project web page should minimum have this info:

• Project Acronym and title
• The project abstract
• The project partners
  • Logos
  • Contact persons
  • Link to their web pages
  • A short presentation of each partner (optional)
  • Addresses (City, country)
• Contact details for
  • The coordinator
  • The dissemination/innovation/IPR manager(s)
• The EU logo/flag
• The correct text saying that this is a project funded by the EC

There will always be a difficult choice between dissemination/communication and IPR/protection of results. You will need a discussion in the consortium on your preferred policy. Publicity and public awareness is important for your projects and required by the EC so do not be too restrictive.

You may:

• Show the project objectives
• Say what you will do by publishing WP info
• Say what results you expect and when
• Publish results (here you may hide sensitive information)
• Publish all open deliverables
• Tell about all project communication and dissemination activities
• Present popularised information about the science you are involved in (reaching a bigger audience)
• Provide links to related information
• Present press coverage of your project
• Prizes/awards you have won
• Provide a weekly/monthly news flash (if you go for news you must update regularly)

 

Technical:

• Register the project acronym as web address
• If someone in the consortium have competence and experience in setting up web pages use them otherwise get professional help (you do not need to be too ambitious)
• Layout and graphics must look professional you will need some design help/competence
• Ensure that it is easy to update the web pages with new text
• Ensure that google searches will hit your site
• Be sure that you have person that can take the role as responsible editor
• Maintaining and updating web pages take time
