Communication via email between partners and VMT is highly recommended and encouraged for day to day contact.

External Communication
Communication at local, regional, national and European levels is encouraged where possible. The project website and Newsflash will be produced and implemented by the VMT to develop the external knowledge of the project and disseminate project results.

Web site and Udiex Platform
All the project information and communication products will be contained on the URBACT web site www.urbact.org, on the specific UDIEX-UDIEX ALEP web pages allocated to the network implemented by the VMT.
Progress with regard to the project will be periodically updated, together with notification of forthcoming events. Moreover all the report from the ALEP programme (Venice Session and Topic based workshop) together with the useful information for the ALEP participants will be web based. The UDIEX newsflash will also be available on the web.

UDIEX News flash
The UDIEX Newsflash will be implemented by the VMT and aims to establish an electronic on line service for all participants to ensure information and communication as means for on-going feedback on the development of the project. One News Flash will be emailed by the VMT to all the project partners and ALEP Participants every six weeks and will be also made available on the web.
As for the web site, the UDIEX Newsflash will be used to provide updates on UDIEX-UDIEX ALEP activities and achievements and encourage participation in forthcoming sessions and workshops.
