REBus timeline

REBus is a 4.5 year project and will run from July 2013 until December 2017.

The website will be live for a further five years from December 2017.

Note
We are delighted to confirm that REBus has been extended by one year by Life+ to enable the team to share the wealth of REBus insights and outcomes with a wider audience across the UK, the Netherlands and the rest of Europe. This means that the project will now finish at the end of December 2017.

Dec 2017 onwards Legacy

Long term vision:
