The VGB website presents itself in a new look since the end of October 2009. Now, the five new VGB pictograms representing the technical committees "Nuclear Power Plants", "Fossil-fired Power Plants", "Renewables and Distributed Generation" and "Environmental Technology, Chemistry, Safety and Health" as well as the "Operational Services" clearly visualize the areas of competence of the European Technical Association.
An optimized structure of the website offers faster access to the individual fields of activity - always led by the pictograms in blue (Nuclear Power Plants), orange (Fossil-fired Power Plants), green (Renewables and Distributed Generation), yellow (Environmental Technology, Chemistry, Safety and Health) and magenta (Operational Services).
Besides of the new overall look, the "member area" is included in the main navigation now to ease the web-based work of the committees.
Find out what has changed - we look forward to you!
