The Websites of EuropaBio are operational in English and are being hosted on the independent server of a third party.

I. Website maintenance services
Expected activities as part of a monthly maintenance contract: this is to ensure the smooth and un-interrupted operation of the websites listed above, to maximise their lifespan and ensure that they are up to date and fully functional at all times. That includes:

1. Testing all websites annually
2. Checking and implementing for updates monthly, including security updates for site and all modules
3. Creation of back up schedule
4. Reviewing key metrics
5. Maintenance & regular check up for broken links of static pages
6. Testing website speed
7. Implementing changes to the functionality, templates, style sheets
8. Support set up of website forms as required
9. Finding and Fixing bugs
10. Checking for missing content, e.g. images
11. Checking for missing browser titles
12. Checking for missing metadata
13. Checking for browsers’, plugins compatibilities
14. Checking that the Website Design standard is maintained
15. User access issues
16. Interface with hosting service to resolve issues as required
17. Support and advice to team for generating materials for optimum website use
18. Ensure that all functionalities are measurable and trackable via Google Analytics and providing periodical reports
19. Periodical testing for dead links
20. Testing browser and plugin compatibilities
21. Detection, notification, and (possibly & mostly automated) fixing of vulnerabilities that would make the website prone to hack attacks, as long as those vulnerabilities are not as result of user error (like leaking the admin password)
22. Advice and implementation (the latter for a fee because that is usually not part of a maintenance contract) of new functionality
23. Advice, if so desired, about better ways to implement existing functionality (e.g. a better plugin that accomplishes the same)

II. Website development
1. Static/ Dynamic information update
2. Alteration or re-design of pages or other requested structural changes
3. Support in website expansion and evolution (including new plug ins to enable additional interaction with site)
4. Adding new functionalities (when requested)

Algal Omega 3

Algal Omega-3 is an innovative feed product for aquaculture. It reduces the impact on climate change by 30-40% compared to fish oil and saves 60 tons of wild fish for every ton of Algal Omega-3 used.

Cheese

Cheese is a vegetarian product thanks to biotechnology. Biotechnology is also essential to produce lactose- or cholesterol-free cheese, as well as alternative proteins.

Clothes

Clothes made from alternative fibres produced by microorganisms can be 8x stronger than steel, 100% recyclable, biodegradable and replace fossil-fuel based or resource-intensive textiles.

Vitamin B2

The biomanufacturing of Vitamin B2 led to the reduction of 75% of fossil raw materials and 50% operating costs, compared to the chemical process. Vitamin B2 is used in the food, feed or healthcare sectors.

Detergents

Enzymes and biosurfactancts are alternative ingredients that improve the performance of detergents, while leading to water and energy savings and reductions in CO2 emissions and water toxicity.

Insulin

Insulin is one of the most widely known biopharmaceutical. Biotechnology revolutionised its manufacturing process and led to the development of new types of insulin through r-DNA technology.
