The website horizon-msca-esperanto.eu serves as the digital showcase of the European project ESPERANTO (Enhancing the Sustainability of PhotopolymERs ANd phoToinduced prOcesses), funded through the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) under the Horizon Europe programme. The project aims to promote more sustainable technologies for photopolymerization — a key chemical process across many modern industries — while training a new generation of creative and socially responsible researchers.
The site architecture is designed to guide users through scientific and institutional content in a clear, engaging, and accessible way, balancing informational rigor with visual coherence. Each section — from the project overview to the work packages, from the international consortium to candidate biographies — is structured with a defined typographic hierarchy and modular spacing system that enhances readability.
Special attention was given to layout, navigation system, and visual hierarchy:
Clear and persistent header navigation ensures a smooth experience across the main areas (Project, Consortium, Candidates, Dissemination, News & Events). Hero sections and contextual imagery immediately communicate the scientific scope and industrial impact of the project, supported by strong headlines and descriptive subtitles. Modular content sections alternate text blocks with images and icons, creating a scannable reading experience adaptable across devices. Typography and color are used to convey professionalism and reliability, with contrast choices that guide the eye through complex content without overwhelming the page.
The site also integrates dynamic elements such as a News & Events feed to keep users and stakeholders updated, along with social media links to strengthen research dissemination.
Overall, the website design effectively supports the project’s educational and outreach mission: translating highly technical content into an intuitive digital experience aligned with the values of sustainability, innovation, and international collaboration that define the MSCA Doctoral Networks.
