Objective One’s full website goes on line Comprehensive details of the Objective One programme – how it works and news about projects – are now available online following the launch this week of the programme’s new website.The full site – which replaces a pilot version set up earlier this year – was warmly endorsed by Professor Andrew Errington, a member of the programme’s Strategic Development Group.

There is so much in the way of facts, advice and useful contact information there but the site is also extremely easy to find your way round.” The launch of the extensive new site – www.objectiveone.com – follows the announcement at the start of this week of the names of the first four projects to be approved for Objective One funding. The full website – which can be accessed at the same address as the pilot site – contains a wide range of useful information, both general and for specific sectors, presented in a user-friendly manner that avoids jargon.
