• T563: We started the administrative procedure for the selected candidate. The job position is starting from 1st of December 2014. He will be paid partially by GENIUS. (2) The first data on variables that we could see, for example in the image of the week, as well as what was shown by Lukasz Wyrzykowski last week at the Science Alert workshop in Warsaw on the 8-sept. week. are of good enough quality and we can envision to have releases of variable groups early, as mentioned in the release scenario. So the validation should advance quicker.
