The Graduate College 2610 "Innovative Retina Interfaces for Optimized Artificial Vision", or InnoRetVision for short, funded by the German Research Foundation DFG , is dedicated to the education of students interested in electrical engineering, neuroengineering, biophysics, sensor technology or neurophysiology and the restoration of vision. From this highly interdisciplinary perspective, we aim to investigate innovative approaches to current technologies in the field of restoring vision by stimulating the visual system.

The faculty of the Graduate College 2610 comprises researchers from eleven different scientific institutions at RWTH Aachen University, the University of Duisburg-Essen and the Jülich Research Center. The spokesperson for the project is Prof. Dr. med. Peter Walter from the RWTH Aachen Eye Clinic; the deputy speakers are Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Wilfried Mokwa and Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Sven Ingebrandt , the former and current directors of the Institute for Materials in Electrical Engineering at RWTH Aachen University 1.
