Project website (opens in new window)

"The project website will include - an “internal secured area”, accessible only to the project partners through secure login; - an “open access area” devoted to public dissemination. Material published in the open access area of the website will be always prepared as a digestive version of internal documents and reports, i.e. without sensitive technical details needed to replicate the technology, for the sake of both dual use prevention and IPR protection.
