FEMISE revamps its website and announced 2009 work plan

The EuropeAid funded network of economic research institutes, FEMISE, has made a complete recasting of its website making it easier to access its database of research, publications and information.   The revamped website comprises three layers. The first is accessible to all users and contains all published information, the second layer is the place for Members of the FEMISE network to post their news and exchange information, while the third is reserved for administrative information and open only to members of the Steering Committee and RSG.

  The website will have an internal search engine that indexes all pages html and an advanced search engine that will allow more detailed search by categories, date, keyword, etc. It also offers the opportunity to subscribe to the FEMISE newsletter.

  Some of the features of the new website are still not fully accessible or are on trial and FEMISE is calling on users to submit their comments and suggestions.

  EuropeAid's Regional Programme aims to reinforce dialogue and economic research by funding the 70-member FEMISE network of economic research institutes, so that it can undertake studies and organise discussion and dialogue on the priorities set out in the economic and financial chapter of the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership.

  The €4.9 million (MEDA) FEMISE project, launched in 2005 and ending in 2009, has also announced its Work Plan for 2009.
