D8.6 Project website

D8.6 – Project website, is a deliverable describing what and how, regarding Climate Smart Advisors project digital infrastructure, meaning project website, is designed, developed and how it is going to be upgraded and maintained during the project life cycle. The process of development is followed from the initial steps – research on needs and requirements of the CSA project Consortium regarding project online infrastructure, until the website release and making it publicly available for end users to explore and use. The assessment of needs and requirements provided the development team with an initial structure of the website which is based on 5 main pillars of content and functionalities. Those are: Project – with basic and most important information about CSA project, its objectives and stakeholders; People – representing key roles in the project who will be carrying CSA towards its milestones; Resources – where key project results, deliverables and outcomes will be stored and shared with the community; Activities – section about practical activities are taking place in different CoPs and countries; and Updates – as a place to go for all stakeholders who want to be in the loop regarding CSA project news, activities and results. Release of the project website early in the CSA project lifecycle means that many upgrades will be made in the later project phases when more and more needs will arise and become more clear to the project stakeholders. Goal of the BioSense team who is in charge for WP8 is to furtherly develop and maintain the CSA website as one of the main tools for communication and dissemination in the project.
