Who is it intended for?
All bodies belonging to the government areas of Education and Science, Technology and Higher Education, such as universities and polytechnic institutes, research centers, among others, can join Zelo at no extra cost. Membership can be extended to any state body, by agreement, through the extension of the protocol.
