Health protection as a website for the BfR

The COPLANT study

Micronutrients and Co.

German Centre for the Protection of Laboratory Animals (Bf3R)

Can hair dye cause cancer? Should my child use fluoride toothpaste? Are animal experiments really still necessary?

If you are looking for scientific answers on health issues, the Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR) is the right place for you: the researchers there deal with current everyday issues as well as providing background information as a sound basis for political decisions. And they want to help put the often highly emotional social debates surrounding health risks and health promotion on a more objective footing.

Customised technical implementation

The technical realisation of the new TYPO3 site - the second part of the major project - was also carried out in constant coordination throughout the entire relaunch process.

Making work easier for editors

A central concern was to avoid multiple editorial efforts. A dataset-based workflow now facilitates work in the backend by centralising the maintenance of information. Videos, audios or podcasts are accessible via the customised media library, an interface to the external research project database ensures an efficient workflow, as does the extended TYPO3 glossary extension, which now automatically displays Latin technical terms in italics, among other things.

Thanks to our extension enhancements, scientific footnotes, including formatting and automated consecutive numbering, can be easily maintained via the editor - in the frontend they appear as a text overlay directly in the text and in parallel as a collection at the end of the text. It is now also possible to enter mathematical formulae in LaTex format via the editor. An alphabetical topic index that can be categorised via the backend allows editorially controllable alternative access to the entire website content.

Migration, sophisticated security concept, support

We migrated all the content of the bilingual main and subsites in German and English, partly automatically and partly manually.
To ensure secure accessibility, we set up geo-redundant hosting and ensure its operation: the data from the main site is permanently synchronised at a second site. There is also the option of using a third hosting location.

In the coming years - until 2030 - we will also be available as a contact for further developments and support.

Projects with purpose

For over 30 years, we have been working with remarkable institutions from the education, science, culture, administration or business sectors. 

All our projects are based on common features: their demand for a high standard of editorial quality, their complexity and the fact that they are part of a greater societal change.

Throughout our work, an innovative and strategic outlook is key. At the same time, we have the highest demands on usability, design and the underlying technology of our work. All of these components must prove sustainable in the long term.

In all contexts, we value a comprehensive understanding of the diverse organizational cultures of our clients. We know how to support employees in change processes and how to moderate cultural change.

We see consulting as a joint process in which we use co-creative elements as effective and active forms of collaboration. Our aim is to involve all relevant stakeholders in finding solutions in order to achieve an optimal result that will be accepted in the long term.

Awards

Our work has received many awards. We work on projects with journalistic standards and high benchmarks for design and usability. Thanks to these criteria, 3pc was awarded the Grimme Online Award as well as other prizes.

Our Clients

For over 27 years, we have been successfully working with federal ministries and public institutions, cities and communities, universities, research foundations, museums, cultural institutions as well as private businesses.
