At the heart of the website is a very simple, easy-to-navigate menu. The portal also employs a good use of audio-visual files, that allow the visitor to a get an up-close understanding of what the CoE, its projects and its donors campaign are all about.

The new website also contains detailed and useful information about the ongoing projects that are being implemented at the CoE, its partners, collaborators and funders. The portal also explains the organizational structure of the Center and features its team of professionals, that are taking care its scientific and administrative day-to-day business. Also worth of noting are the website’s matching-interactive capabilities with the most popular social media that are widely used by the public. The website is currently featured in English, and will soon turn into a bilingual site, also featuring a mirroring Greek section.
