NEWS & PRESS RELEASES

    TITLE:
IK Launch Two Web Sites


DATE:
January 2002

ARTICLE CONTENT:
The IK WEB SITE - at your service!

When IK launches its web site - www.ikfoundation.org - it will be the first time that the Internet is used to disseminate information about the work of IK Foundation & Company. The Internet is ideally suited to the needs of small organisations that manage cross-border projects; not only does it facilitate communications between experts but it is also cost effective.

We use the Internet to reach the people and organisations that are interested in what we are doing and to reach presumptive partners! The IK web site was produced in England in the second half of 2001 in collaboration with Aetherweb Ltd from Yorkshire. From day one, the IK web site will allow visitors to look behind the scenes and participate in an exciting world of discovery and adventure.

Besides being able to browse through a general presentation of IK books, exhibitions, projects, collections and portfolios, visitors can buy books at discount prices in the IK shop - the range of products will be continually added to and we guarantee fast delivery. To simplify payment and guarantee credit card security, we have engaged the services of WorldPay.

The web site is updated every month. Forthcoming services will include a search function that will allow visitors to browse through our archives and collections. Current services include the opportunity to obtain more detailed information in special fact-files, pop-up-windows, downloadable documents and brochures, press releases, fact-sheets etc.

An additional web site will be dedicated to the Linnaeus Apostles - Global Science & Adventure - www.linnaeus.info, one of the most exciting and extensive projects that IK has ever launched and managed. Visitors will be able to follow developments as they occur and download information about Carl Linnaeus and his 17 apostles. Visitors will also be able to offer their support and sponsor the project. A list of sponsors will be published and updated regularly.

OUR PURPOSE

Promoting Natural & Cultural History

WHO WE ARE

We are an international, independent learned organisation for promoting natural and cultural history.

For more than two decades IK has worked for a better understanding of the natural and cultural history of our world by means of, among other things, field work, research projects, exhibitions and publications.

As an independent and not-for-profit organisation - with a strong reputation for excellence, interdisciplinary thinking, in-depth knowledge and long-term results - IK continues to develop unique international networks of cooperation and finance in order to fulfil its mission.

A mission in which we believe that it is the right of everyone to have access to good knowledge of both local and global natural and cultural history and that an interdisciplinary and historical approach to these subjects probably makes it easier to understand life as it is today and face the future - something that affects all of us on planet earth.
