Welcome to our new website
Over the summer months as a result of circumstances outside our control ADEE has had to procure a new web management and services provider. We are delighted to be able to say our new site is now live. As we have transferred our service provider from the UK to Portugal and given we are required to revalidate all users on the new system so as to comply with GDPR we now ask you to create a new user profile on the new website.
Create an account
It is important you do this so you can avail of the membership meeting registration etc. You can of course add much more to your new profile including a photo, short biography etc, the level of detail is totally up to you. We think the process is fairly self explanatory however if you encounter any problems do not hesitate to contact us.
This is a short process where you will link your email to a new profile account and an ADEE member organisation. To do this click on this link.
Evolving the website
This new website platform give us greater control over content management and allows us to update the website regularly.
So as to reflect recent changes in our working approach with the creation of new special interest groups and workshops the office will work with the leaders of these to give them a customised web presence over the coming months. We hope that by the time we get to Strasbourg in August each leader will be proud of their new webpage. So keep an eye out for an email from Denis or Judith in the coming months if you are a SIG or workshop leader.
