Hi all, I would be very happy to cover the front of dissemination of knowledge/teaching/MOOCs. Of course, this is secondary in a call on research infrastructure, but it is still important to teach other researchers how to use the tools we build, or to assist them in teaching their students, etc. I will wait to see where the "meat" of the proposal goes before contributing references to teaching everywhere. I am afraid that this year it is best for someone in Switzerland to stay on the sidelines. Paul
