The WMS uses combonimission.net as a platform to communicate the programmes it runs. It includes a container of material organised in a structured manner. It is also an open space for the contribution and exchange of views of Institute members on various topics. In addition, it includes links to mission-relevant blogs and websites. (SGM Statute No. 28)
