We would like to express our gratitude to all the participants in the creation of this website: the experts and all the people who believed enough in this project and helped us to see it through.

The contents are diverse and without the array of helpers, it wouldn’t have been possible to complete this project and to offer quality long term information.

A very special thanks goes to the team of social helpers at CDCS-CMDC asbl, who represented the core of the project.
