While of course we would like the BY-COVID website to remain active for a long time, we know from experience that it is common for EU project websites to eventually disappear.

I've tried archiving the website using Wayback Machine, however the navigation does not seem to work from any of the hyperlinks:

https://web.archive.org/web/20230917132941/https://by-covid.org/

I suspect there are some javascript taking over the hyperlinks that is not happy once running at Wayback machine.

Tested with Firefox and Microsoft Edge.

Note that the Wayback Machine is able to detect these outgoing links and archived those as well, however it is the links to get to them does not work from the archived page.

Hi @stain, thanks for pointing this out.
I was looking into this and discovered that the Wayback Machine toolbar covers the website navigation menu bar, which can be seen if I close the WM toolbar.
I checked with other websites, and it does push down the top header, but not for the BY-COVID website. I changed the HTML a bit to see if it makes any difference, but it still picks up the old one because I think, it's already been archived.
I was using Chrome.

I did a new capture https://web.archive.org/web/20230919123848/https://by-covid.eu/, but it still has the top-bar issue.

The bigger issue is that any of the hyperlinks further down don't seem to work, even if it seems these many page-data json files are loaded. The URL bar changes to e.g. https://web.archive.org/web/20230919123848/https://by-covid.eu/outputs#publications but the content stays the same. If I then click on URL bar to load it again, the navigated to page will show correctly.
