Abstract

To properly respond to the most urgent needs raised during the EMBnet workshop held in Valencia in May 2013, the Publicity & Public Relations Project Committee (P&PR PC) established two task-forces: i) a website task-force, comprising Rafael Jimenez and Cesar Bonavides-Martinez; and ii) a communication strategy task-force, comprising Vicky Schneider and Rubina Kalra.

An overview of activities and achievements was given by the PC Chair, and discussed during the EMBnet 2014 workshop held in Lyon, 30 May. The programme also included a “Website hands-on” by Rafael Jimenez on “How to use the EMBnet website, add and manage content” aiming to expose members to some of its basic functions and services, and to practise their use.

This article describes the achievements of the P&PR PC since June 2013, and plans for the next year.
