Deliverables

Websites, patent fillings, videos etc. (3)

switchBoard flyer

Development of switchBoard flyer to inform the scientific community and the public abot the consortiums aims and goals.

switchBoard website

A website with 2 levels of accessibility (for the public and for switchboard members) will be implemented.

Museum exhibit

Initiated by UiB, the Vilvite science museum in Bergen, Norway, will jointly organise with the switchBoard ESRs an interactive exhibit at their premises.

Other (5)

Silicon retina training course

Training course for silicon retina applications for ESRs

Central advertisement of all open positions; recruitment of 15 ESRs

Recruitment will be organised centrally. Candidtae interviews are planned for month 1-6; first ESR selections are expected staring month 6 and all ESRs hired latest in month 9 to guarantee a prompt start of the projects.
