SLOWD has just launched its public website, which will be the main source of information about the SLOWD progress, activities, news and significant results. In addition, the project objectives, the solution proposed in order to achieve them as well as descriptions of the SLOWD Consortium partners are presented. It will also be updated with all SLOWD relevant documents, news, events and other resources on a regular basis.
The website is constructed in a simple and user-friendly manner, enabling the users to navigate easily and have quick access to the information.
The European Aeronautics Science Network publishes on a regular basis an electronic newsletter which is distributed to several thousands of researchers and scientists throughout Europe.
A SLOWD related article has been published in the December 2019 issue, presenting briefly the project, its objectives and moves towards their accomplishments.
