In a two-day workshop, consortium member “iniLabs” hosted the switchboard Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) at its facilities. During the workshop, the ESRs were able to visit the company and the Institute of Neuroinformatics at the University of Zurich and the ETH Zurich. The aim of the workshop was to provide participants with a working knowledge of the neuromorphic Dynamic Vision Sensor (DVS), and to give them an insight into ongoing research into event-based vision.

The Neuroscience Center Zuerich, a joint competence center at ETH Zuerich and the University of Zuerich, organized "BrainFair", a public event that took place from 13 - 18 March 2017. Doors were open to young and old who wanted to get informed on the current research in Neuroscience. The program, lectures, forums and workshop, was topically centered all around the brain: its anatomy, its functions and ongoing research that mimic its behaviour.

Early Stage Researcher Gemma Taverni, hosted at switchboard beneficiary 11, iniLabs, had the possibility to introduce students to her research. The students, 7-17 years old, were very interested and asked lots of questions about the Dynamic Vision Sensor, DVS, the silicon retina developed at iniLabs. It was a nice opportunity to motivate new future reseachers!
