| "The new version of the CAAST-Net e-Newsletter is above usual newsletter standards; very professional and very informative! Full marks to the CAAST-Net consortium partners! Congratulations for a job extremely well done and useful!" Karine Valin, project coordinator of the EuroAfrica-ICT initiative and managing director of Sigma Orionis, France "The new design of the website looks GREAT! Keep up the good work! I might also add that I find the new design much easier to use and to find what I'm looking for, which was a big problem for me before." Melissa Plath, project coordinator for the University Partnership for International Development (UniPID), University of Jyväskylä, Finland "I take the opportunity to express as well my very positive appreciation about the work that has been developed by the bulletin. It is a very important tool for CAAST-Net indeed and its potential should be developed further namely by an enhanced level of dissemination whenever possible." José Bonfim, senior advisor for the department of European relations at the Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia (Foundation for Science and Technology), Portugal To send The Network your feedback or a comment please write to Anne Taylor (at@research-africa.net). |
