Deliverable 18. Website and social media platform launched and available.

Deliverable description 

The sharing of scientific results is vitally important in strengthening science and research. Due to the value and impact communication and dissemination activities can have on the wider research community, COST actively encourages and supports Actions to share outcomes with researchers, policymakers, the private sector and civic society such as NGOs. In addition, the Website can be used to communicate with people with relevant interests and experience, such as experts, to learn their opinions and what they know. Websites are incredibly versatile tools with a wide range of uses. 

Here are some of the most common ways websites are used:

• Information Sharing: Websites are excellent platforms for sharing information. The Action can use it to provide details about the activities, while individuals can use them to share their thoughts, experiences, or expertise.
• Communication: Websites often include tools for communication, such as contact forms, registrations forms, guidelines. This allows visitors to get in touch with the network participants.
• Community Building: Websites can be used to create online communities where people with shared interests can connect and interact. This can be done through forums, social media integration, or other community-building features.
