Quality assurance

The maintainers of the network are endeavoring to assure the quality of the portal especially through the following measures:

• Every three months the participants receive an eMail newsletter containing notifications concerning innovations within the portal. Apart from informative purposes this newsletter also serves to make sure that the provided eMail addresses are valid.
   
• The addresses of the participants' websites, if provided, are checked twice a year.
   
• In case important information (like e.g. the photo) is missing from the profile, the participant will receive a reminder message by eMail several times a year. If needed be, the entry will be deleted.
   
• Regular benchmarking with respect to comparable listings is carried out, from which conclusions for further technical and functional development can be drawn.
