Project partners were welcomed by Prof. Stefan Weber, Director of the ARTORG Center of Biomedical Engineering Research of the University of Bern.

The first day, sessions and discussions were focussed on the work packages and their progress achieved so far. In combination with the technical sessions a guided tour around ARTORG Center facilities gave partners an approach of the research performed there. During the two days meeting, Project partners had also the opportunity to see two live interventions of cochlear implantation performed by Dr. Pascal Senn and Prof. Marco Caversaccio.

The plenary meeting finished with an overview on future work and on next actions to perform in the following 6 months.
