EXARC Newsletter, Number 2012/3

Upgrading EXARC websites complete
With the support from the European Commission, we have finished working on the EXARC Portal. Now, we can profile our members and our activities much better – but we need your help. Not only should you check if what we present about you is correct but we like you to add much more information. You can login with the codes we gave you and add some information.

The Institutional Members: please add your own public events to the calendar. They show on the Events Page as well as on your own EXARC page (please check the manuals on “How to Add Content” under Member Only Section). Add also pictures or PDF leaflets as you wish (please check the manuals “How to Add Content / Member Resources” under Member Only Section). If you have a good promotional video, tell us and we’ll add it to your page.

Our EXARC Marketplace is open for any EXARC member. If you have anything to offer (goods or a service) or you are in need of anything, add an advert to the EXARC Marketplace and use the EXARC network!

If you have any questions or need help, please contact r.p.paardekooper@exarc.net.
