Improved Web Presence for INDR

International Network on Displacement and Resettlement (INDR) has acquired the rights to the domain www.indr.org

Design and implementation have begun on a new website for INDR which will offer members the opportunity to create their own personal profile pages as well as offer forums for open discussion on timely topics of interest.

ImageUntil the new website is complete, visitors can still access the existing INDR website through the www.displacement.net URL. Once all content from the old site has been migrated and testing is complete on the new site, both URLs will redirect to the new website.

We are excited to have you share in the bright future of INDR, and welcome your input and feedback on the new website. We have registered INDR members using the email address we have on file.

In the coming weeks, you may receive several emails from INDR announcing various features on the website.

You may also add a link to the INDR website from your own website. For the HTML code, visit the Press Center>Link to INDR page.
