In our effort to maintain uninterrupted the services of the OAE Portal and the annual multimedia publications on OAE material, we are seeking external sponsors.

      What we propose to each OAE equipment or software manufacturer is to PLACE their company's logo in our pages, specifically in the top panel (top Frame) which remains always visible to the user, in exchange for the minimum sponsoring amount we have defined for this year. In the scheme we are proposing, we are offering the possibility to built up to six custom-made pages (called sponsored pages) for the products of each manufacturer , bearing the design style of the OAE Portal. Additional pages can be also be constructed for an additional amount of € 1,500 . The pages can contain detailed information on the presented products, but they cannot express subjective views such as " the best product", " the most advanced solution in the market" etc. For such marketing policies links to the manufacturer www pages will be also provided.

If you are interested in sponsoring us, you might find interesting the 2005 FACTs-sheet of the OAE Portal (in comparison to 2002 and 2001 data). For further information on any sponsoring acts, you may contact the Web-editor.

     All sponsoring acts will be considered research donations to the Center of Bioacoustics, University of Ferrara. Appropriate invoices to the sponsors will be issued by the "Consorzio Ferrara Ricerche" which administers all project donations to the University of Ferrara.
