Our website has also been recently completely revamped. The layout, navigation menu and the underlying structure have all been modified and dramatically improved. Among the novelties, it is now possible to retrieve our publications not only by research areas, but also by publication type (academic, working papers, etc). Further, our regional programmes (India and East Africa) have gained more visibility and content, and thematic pages have been added, for instance in the India section on the Best Bakery Case or on our work concerning the Sardar Sarovar dam. |
