[en] The BBEMG website (www.bbemg.be) aims to present the results of the research teams of the Belgian BioElectroMagnetics Group, to inform about electric and magnetic fields and their potential health effects, and to become a centre of documentation and education able to provide understandable and correct information regarding 50 Hz electric and magnetic fields to the general public, physicians, scientists, public officials... This paper is focusing on the involvement of the BBEMG through its website in the Belgian public policy, its identified goals and how it is implemented and evaluated. Challenges will also be analysed.
