This post presents the last video of our media kit. Please, share it to anyone you wish. It is also meant as a big apology for the delay in setting up the entire server infrastructure of our EU BEACON One Health education via new technologies COST action. The additional time invested in getting all ready has been essential to ensure full technical reliability, security, and scalability. The system had to be strong enough to serve not only this action but also the broader vision of an interconnected European and global education and research network. The last few utilities are being added. With the forthcoming sharing, including all user access credentials, expected within two or three days, the action will gain the means to operate efficiently, conserve resources, and expand its impact.
The new environment will enable working groups, researchers, educators, and institutions across the COST area to collaborate transparently and autonomously, with tools designed for real-time coordination and open governance. The pooled resources will be at your entire disposal. A full COST area media and outreach campaign will follow immediately after the release. It will introduce the action, our goals, our systems, and invite wider participation from new members and partner institutions. Public announcements, short explanatory videos, and coordinated communications will accompany this rollout to ensure visibility and engagement across platforms and potentially allied organizations.
The launch is imminent. Tutorials and guidance materials will be published from next week after the release onward, to help all users navigate the new power tools and utilities already deployed. Accounts are now being finalized. Credential will be sent to each member by email. The systems, which proudly will include governance systems to allocate the budget democratically, a work group organization suit, a cloud platform and office solution, as well as an open source chat bot with conversational capabilities and an expandable knowledge base, are almost ready for use. All within our servers, without paying any fees for the software; all ready to be further improved, integrated, developed into a research and pedagogical pure blend distribution for schools and other actions and centers. This moment marks the beginning of a new phase in which a stronger, transparent, and sustainable one health education network becomes capable of acting decisively across Europe and beyond.
Thanks for being part of it, wishing you all the best.
