“Joint project communication” - EU projects website - Rolf-Jan HOEVE INFORM Meeting – 15 June 2009

FAQ - General public ?

Introduction Project partners (EC, EZ, MA’s, Europe Direct) have largely identical communication goals. Join ‘communication’-forces. EU project information in The Netherlands No national overview Shattered information with different data Not easily accessible Not much transparency Decision 2008: set-up a joint communications website (communicating in partnership)

Goal Website instrumental to put ‘European projects on the map’. 1 central place with up to date information Customised dynamical information Power of separate abstracted maps, flawless integration in external websites via i-frames Management of ‘own’ data (authorities remain owner of the data) Avoiding double registrations
