The programme's web presence attracts an average of more than 50,000 visitors monthly, with high levels of engagement and user interaction.

Producing relevant and compelling web content on a regular basis and keeping the different web environments up to date have been the key to meet the needs of a demanding audience. This requires periodic update of content as it is being released.
