Redesigning the EIA website : Prototype

Content and coffee, a web agency based in Brussels with a strong experience in designing international association’s website, was chosen for the project.

They sent a first prototype for the website. The Working Group 6 participants gave lots of ideas to improve the prototype, especialy the design. We are now waiting for a second version.

Editorial committee

Aim of the Editorial committee  is to propose and select articles to develop EIA website content and create a technical library for members.The articles must be technically and agronomically satisfactory and no-commercial oriented.

Vicky Barbuti form Rivulis sent an article :  « Filtration protects your irrigation system, but how do you protect the filtration unit? ». All participants agreed that Vicky’s article can be published on the EIA website.

On Eima, EIA will share Irrigazette’s booth (16 square meters) and organise a cocktail on the trade-fair, after the exhibition, on  the second or the third day. Participants asked if it makes sense to organise a cocktail with lots of participants, due to covid restrictions.
