Original content from the previous site was transferred over, with enhancements added to allow visitors to the site to see upcoming GECC events and news.  Dave Parker added "the whole purpose of redesigning the site was to make it more ‘feature-rich' and allow easier addition of content which is relevant to the activities carried out by the GECC.  We opted for the Joomla platform based on the success of launching the ESYS corporate website on the same platform back in February this year".

The new GECC website has a much cleaner, fresher look than the old one. It is also much easier to navigate, making it easier to find information about the GECC and its subgroups - including what they do, who their members are and when they meet.  The ‘events calendar' allows you to see upcoming events, and the ‘file repository' makes it easy to access documents related to the GECC, including the minutes of meetings and reports produced by the committee and its subgroups. We hope that these features will make the website useful to a range of people - including scientists, policy makers and members of the public - and thereby help to increase the visibility and impact of the GECC's work.

ESYS act as secretariat for the GECC, with Mike Dillon co-ordinating meetings and being the contact point for the GECC content.
