Organisation and project hubs

A hub is a free, branded home on the European Skills Lab with its own address, logo and colours — either for the EU projects of one organisation, or for one project.

Visitors browse, search and download the resources without leaving the hub, while every project and resource stays part of ESL: nothing is copied, and a project can appear in several hubs. Hubs have addresses like www.skills-lab.eu/hub/your-hub.

Organisation hubs

A university, company or other organisation presents a selection of the projects it coordinates or takes part in, with all their public resources — including those of the other project partners.

1. A user with the Project Management Area switched on requests a hub for their organisation under My ESL.
2. The ESL team reviews the request, and may ask for changes.
3. Once it is approved, the requester manages a draft hub: they choose the projects, add the branding and preview the result.
4. They publish the hub when it is ready. Later changes stay a draft until they are published too.

Project hubs

One project gets its own branded page: its description, all its materials, its partners and its numbers. Everyone who may edit the project can create and manage its hub from the project's edit page — no request is needed. It is public while the project itself is published.

What every hub offers

• Its own address, logo and brand colours, in light and dark mode
• A search that covers only the hub's projects
• A page of partner organisations, and public summary numbers
• Detailed statistics for the hub's managers: visits, resources used, countries and referring websites

Good to know

• A hub only shows projects that are published on ESL; an organisation hub only those its organisation coordinates or takes part in.
• Managing an organisation hub does not give anyone the right to edit a project; each project stays with the people who manage it.
• An organisation has one hub, which can have several managers; if your organisation already has one, you can ask its managers for access. A project has at most one hub.
• The names of a hub's managers are never shown publicly.
