Web Platform Process and Results

The ECHOES Platform was developed with the end user in mind. Understanding the needs and requirements of users and stakeholders has been central to this. The process of gathering requirements was ongoing until Autumn 2022. Development work was then completed, and the platform was shared with stakeholders for user testing.

The presentation below was given at the ECHOES Closure Conference on 9 March 2023.
