About us Our projects

Welcome to our new website

Our new website has gone live a little earlier than planned. The global PHP security vulnerability has prompted us to bring forward the launch, which is why it’s already here: our new NABU site.

Not everything is quite settled in yet. If you come across a broken link or a minor glitch, we’ll sort it out as soon as possible.

Thank you for your patience, and we hope you enjoy exploring the site!
