1 Introduction A project website – the central hub for project information – has been developed at the onset of the project and will be diligently updated during project lifetime with all latest updates on project activities, downloadable material, results and relevant outreach material. Among others, the website contains (wherever applies, these will be updated as the link material is being produced): cross-links with consortium partner sites and other project-related sites, introduction and description of the project aims, vision, and results, list and presentation of project partners including a link to their hosting organisation websites, calendar of events organised by the consortium, latest news from the project, access to `public' documents and links to software prototypes and open blueprints, external links that interested parties might find useful, publications and further documentation material downloads, contact details for any follow-up questions that visitors to the website may have, project documentation, promotional materials, presentation materials, and white papers, which will involve the production of branded posters, flyers and a project factsheet. All of this will be updated to reflect project results and tailored to lead users and market evolution. Of equal importance is to couple the project website channel with leverage of the deep and wide influence of social networks; for this, the web site is linked to all relevant social media and Web 2.0 channels towards maximization of the dissemination and influence outcome.

2 dReDBox Website The project website is published on www.dredbox.eu and has been live since March 2016.

Currently, the site includes the following pages:

Page Title Description
