Mediation and communication

Besides the present website, a number of medias and activities are established in order to mediate project findings, namely:


Web portal on European research in organic food and farming

In relation to the CORE Organic website a "web portal" is established in order to provide an overview of the overall structure and content of research in partner countries. This includes general overviews of programs, financing, ways of initiating and coordinating, institutes and facilities, etc, for the individual countries. Visit the web portal


CORE Organic newsletter

The objective of the newsletter is to inform main target groups about outcome and activities within the project. Initially, the contents of the newsletter will include articles on the project deliverables, including new publications, news on databases, mapping, workshops, conferences etc. Sign up for the newsletter.


CORE Organic is one of the key partners in the joint organic congress to be held in Denmark. All together the congress will involve 10 EU projects. More about the congress.

Organic Eprints

Organic Eprint is the international open access archive for papers related to research in organic agriculture. The archive contains full-text papers in electronic form together with bibliographic information, abstracts and other metadata.

The archive accepts papers from researchers all over the world, but since 2003 it has been functioning as the national archive for Denmark, Switzerland and Germany. Under the auspices of CORE Organic the archive has been extended to function as the organic research archive for all partner countries.
