2. WEBSITE

The following description of the website shows the outline of the public pages and the categories that will be maintained throughout the project lifetime.

A website dedicated to the project has been designed and set up in the first month of the UCN project. The website is constantly evolving and all partners have been involved in the process of writing key messages that are now part of our brand, and are regularly invited to provide content and updates.

The purpose of the project’s website is to be one of the main interfaces of UCN towards the general public and especially a reference point for the project on the Internet.

The main objectives for the website are that it should be clean, easy to navigate and informative, providing access to all project-related public information concerning news and events. Being the main public interface, it should adhere to the project identity, and should contain references to the EC public funding. It is also linked to the private wiki area of the project.

The website is a living and dynamic instrument that is continuously evolving to show key project progress. It may undergo more fundamental improvements and overhauls from time to time.
