The site has been built with the needs of ENDURE’s key target groups in mind. From the home page you can choose to browse through more than 100 pages of information or go straight to the pages that have been selected as specially relevant for you.

The site has new pages offering information specially selected for: Scientists, Advisers and extension services, Policy makers, Students, Partners outside Europe, Journalists and the General public (these links are available in the lefthand column). Visiting these pages will provide you with a selection of the most relevant pages.

The new home page also offers direct access to some key ENDURE tools which will come online in the coming weeks, including the ENDURE Information Centre - a central point of reference for extending expert knowledge, recommendations and advice for extension services, advisers and researchers.

Direct access is also available to ENDURE’s 2008 International Conference, where proceedings can be consulted online, an area dedicated to mobility and job opportunities, and this year’s Summer School, which is being held in June and will focus on ‘Modelling approaches to support integrated pest management (IPM)’. These links are available in the righthand column.

ENDURE’s website was first launched alongside the creation of the Network of Excellence in 2007. Since January 2009 it has been supported by the publication of bi-monthly electronic newsletters. Subscription to the newsletters can be made online.

Since the launch more than 32,000 people have visited the site, accounting for more than 130,000 page views. The site was created and is run by CIRAD (the French Agricultural Research Centre for International Development), in collaboration with a communication team made up of members from most of ENDURE’s 18 partners.
