EFE launches EFEfuturo.com, a Web site for scientific and technical info

Madrid, Apr 23 (EFE).- Agencia EFE, Spain's international news agency, on Tuesday launched EFEfuturo.com with the aim of making it a reference point for information about research, development and innovation and a meeting place for those who are working or are interested in science and technology news.

This is one of the two legs of the new Web site, which will continue reporting on science and technology via its regular routes.

EFEfuturo is configured as an area of specialized information, with the ability to project in multimedia format to anyplace in the world - from any point and in different languages - the key questions about research, space, humanities, technical devices, videogames and digital leisure activities.

The Web site gives a decisive push to scientific and technological content at EFE, the agency that was a pioneer in creating and maintaining a science and environment section and the first to launch specialized programs on scientific information for young journalists.

A team of experts in Madrid and at bureaus throughout Spain and the world makes up the nucleus of EFEfuturo.

The Web site takes advantage of the potential and reach of EFE: a worldwide network of journalists, with more than 3,000 professionals working to guarantee 24-hour coverage from more than 180 cities in 120 countries and with four editorial desks: Madrid, Bogota, Cairo (Arabic service) and Rio de Janeiro (Portuguese service).
