Launch of external website

The MED-GOLD website (www.med-gold.eu) was launched the week before the kick-off meeting of the project. It has the aim to be the gateway to the engagement of stakeholders and to serve the dissemination of the latest information about the project. It has been conceived as a tool aimed to: 

 Share knowledge and further developments of climate services that are of interest for the agricultural sector 

 Increasing visibility that will boost the market uptake of project results and the replicability on new potential markets 

 Raise awareness and contribute to the SDGs and provide relevant information that serves as input for protocols, policies, legal issues, etc. 

The website is expected to evolve in response to the evolving needs and developments of the project. One of the main objectives of MED-GOLD is to investigate decision-making processes in the agricultural sector and devise innovative solutions for climate-related threats. To pave the way to attain these objectives, the first version of the website is providing a landing page with a short form for an initial interaction with the MED-GOLD community, defined as the (potential) users from the three MED-GOLD targeted sectors (grapes, olives and durum wheat). 

In the course of the project, the website will be periodically updated with information and products based on the project’s results, such as news, dissemination materials or information about interesting events and activities related to the project. 

The project will also be promoted through social media channels (Facebook and Twitter), linking to the project website whenever relevant.
