internal experts

broaden/narrow the scope of the search

updated Blog)

REEEP is constantly working on further system enhancements and refinements to

ensure the highest quality in search results and increase the outreach of reegle

Two of the most important projects are:

1. The reegle geoweb project:

The scope of the reegle geoweb project is to

provide information about Actors, Training &

Education, News and Events as well as country

profiles to the reegle user via a map based

application.

Funded by Germany

2. reegle redesign:

As the reegle design is some years old and web

based technology has significantly evolved in

recent years, we will introduce a brand-new

design including several new features in early

2009.
