Thematic newsletters, RSS feeds, browsers: let’s find out the systems for keeping up to date with the latest news on europlanning from official sites.<\/p>\n
Many of our posts constitute an update on the <\/span>\n main news<\/span>\n<\/a> in the field of europlanning, others provide tips on how to keep up to date through <\/span>\n documents and multimedia content<\/span>\n<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n We recommend regular consultation not only of our Guide, but also of the main reference sites. However, there can be many sites to consult and limited time. Fortunately, some systems make it easier to bring the freshest and most important information to our attention.<\/span><\/p>\n Let’s find out together which ones.<\/span><\/p>\n First of all, as we have already mentioned in a <\/span>\n our previous post<\/span>\n<\/a> on this topic, special features of popular browsers can be used. Appropriate Firefox and Chrome add-ons such as. <\/span>\n Update Scanner<\/span>\n<\/a> e <\/span>\n Page Monitor<\/span>\n<\/a>, allow you to quickly and easily check if and what updates have been made to a web page.<\/span><\/p>\n By activating this feature on certain key pages, such as the <\/span>“Funding & Tenders” portal calls search page<\/span><\/a> (as well as many others mentioned in our Guide), it is possible to view immediately and with some regularity everything that has been published on the page since our last visit.<\/span><\/p>\n How does it work? Simply install an appropriate extension or add-on component, using (for the two mentioned above) the respective links. You can add web page addresses to be monitored and view updates through a simple interface.<\/span><\/p>\n RSS Feeds can be an additional (and in some ways, similar) updating system.<\/span><\/p>\n What is it all about? RSS is a specific format used for the dissemination of web content. Within RSS, site authors include anything that can be considered as a useful news and update, relative to a given web page. By using the RSS feed link on specific software that can read this format (RSS readers), it is then possible to regularly view news published on a website you wish to follow.<\/span><\/p>\n For example, <\/span>\n this is the RSS Feed<\/span>\n<\/a> of the calls search page of the <\/span>\n Funding & Tenders portal.<\/span>\n<\/a>. By copying and opening the link of this RSS Feed on an appropriate reader, you can regularly read what is new in the said portal. RSS Feed readers can collect many links and many pages, thus becoming useful “update binders” for regularly browsing through all the news from the sites of greatest interest quickly and easily.<\/span><\/p>\n Newsletters can be another very useful tool for receiving major news of interest directly to our inbox. The Guide to EU Projects and Funding has also enhanced <\/span>\n The use of the newsletter<\/span>\n<\/a>, which has become a true information and updating tool.<\/span><\/p>\n Newsletters are not only about websites but are a communication tool used by almost every organization in the world, from the largest to the smallest. For those involved in europlanning, it is very important to be subscribed to the newsletters most relevant to their field of activity, paying attention to both the thematic dimension (such as <\/span>we have said here<\/span><\/a>, an EU project designer needs to “cultivate” specific areas of interest) as well as the geographic dimension (it is important to know the main news at the European, national and local levels).<\/span><\/p>\n It is not possible here to range over all thematic and geographic areas, but there are a number of “newsletter binders” from community institutions that provide an excellent starting point for getting information on what is happening in Europe (on projects, but not only) in different areas.<\/span><\/p>\nSimple technical solutions<\/b><\/h2>\n
