Tasks of the Board

The primary task of the DAB is a facilitating one, by assisting the project directors on matters that are at the interface of science and industry. The DAB will also advise in efforts to realize a healthy growth of the consortium, improve our meetings and communication with the sponsors.

Current DAB members

" Since 2001 the Delphi Advisory Board (DAB) has become active.
