Dear Trailblazers,

I am sorry for the delay - we have just had a lot of things to do after the conference. Please accept my apologies.

Please let me know if you are not happy with the way your projects are presented. Feel free to send me short text that would better describe the project.

Having said this, we encourage you to write a guest blog post about your project. Guest blog posts can be extensive and express personal points of view. The will be featured on the front-page for a wile and be archived here: http://epsiplatform.eu/guestblog
