Community Managers Group

After some internal consultation, we have decided that we will stick to 2 content types in the Maritime Forum.  The most recent events and articles are automatically listed on the homepage and in theme and community pages.
Please note that to create an article, you have to use Page as content type.

The banners have been a bit challenging for all of us.  The ideal format for inserting a picture as banner is "Large (3:1)".

The Maritime Forum newsletter is released in spring and autumn.

Do not hesitate to promote the newsletter and invite your community members to subscribe in Newsroom:
https://ec.europa.eu/newsroom/login?universe=maritimeforum&page=subscriptions

To contribute for your community, make sure you have access to Newsroom. Do not forget to associate your article to the "Maritime Forum Newsletter - Template" and do respect the given deadline to be part of the release.

This new functionality will make it possible for our Maritime Forum communities to set up and organise an event (virtual, hybrid...) for their community.

A basic package for an event up to 100 people and 1 hour support is foreseen in this framework.  Additional requests such as having more participants, more support, ... is at the expense of the organising community and has to be arranged independently with the provider.

All events on the platform will be organised in the following way:

• The community announces their event on the Maritime Forum
• After receiving a dedicated space in the Maritime Forum Event Maker, the community can add all necessary information and insert the invitation link for registration on the Maritime Forum website.
• Participants must register for the event.
• Each participant will have access to the event space and can complete the created profile with useful information and showcase needs or expectations for better matchmaking.
• Participants have their own agenda at their disposal where they complete their schedule for the event and the list of their meetings.
• Results or outcome of the event will be published after the event on the Maritime Forum website. The event space will then be closed, and content deleted.
