 MEmilio Documentation
 ===============================
-The MEmilio documentation is created by [doxygen](https://www.doxygen.nl/). The documentation of the main branch is automatically deployed to https://scicompmod.github.io/memilio/documentation/index.html by the continuous integration process.
+With every merged pull request, the online documentation gets updated at: [https://memilio.readthedocs.io/en/latest/](https://memilio.readthedocs.io/en/latest/).
 
-In order to create the MEmilio documentation locally, follow the procedure below.
+A MEmilio documentation can also be created locally with [doxygen](https://www.doxygen.nl/). In order to do so, follow the procedure below.

-        MEmilio implements various models for infectious disease dynamics, from simple compartmental models through
-        Integro-Differential equation-based models to agent- or individual-based models. Its modular design allows the
-        combination of different models with different mobility patterns. Through efficient implementation and
-        parallelization, MEmilio brings cutting edge and compute intensive epidemiological models to a large scale,
-        enabling a precise and high-resolution spatiotemporal infectious disease dynamics. MEmilio will be extended
-        continuously. It is available open-source and we encourage everyone to make use of it.<p></p>
