Euro-BioImaging Industry Board

Join us for the next meeting of the Industry Board at ELMI 2018.

Talk to us about your company's interests and get to know what we are doing at the moment.

The Euro-BioImaging Industry Board (EBIB) is a platform for Bio-Imaging and Medical-Imaging companies, established with the aim to facilitate interaction between imaging industry and imaging users and providers linked to Euro-BioImaging, and at the same time strengthen the standing of imaging industry in Europe. Such interaction can enable timely understanding of the users’ needs, boost innovation in biomedical sciences and strengthen the position of companies which can respond faster to new developments on the market.

The Board is inviting all other companies in biomedical-imaging to join. Companies on the Board are especially inviting other 40 companies that supported Euro-BioImaging during its preparatory phase to join the membership scheme.

Main missions of the Board are to:

Strengthen imaging industry in Europe
Create a platform for industry-science cross collaboration
Create "One Voice" activities to political community at the national and European level (Brussels) in order to increase bioimaging market
Strengthen communication with imaging technology users and imaging facilities, enabling timely understanding of users’ needs
Follow use of technology and software at Euro-BioImaging Nodes
Cooperate with Euro-BioImaging Nodes on testing of novel technologies
Participate in Euro-BioImaging training activities

What is Euro-BioImaging

Euro-BioImaging is currently preparing for the construction of the infrastructure, its Nodes (imaging facilities) and central Hub. Governments of 17 European countries and EMBL as an international organization are driving intensive discussions about the future structure of the infrastructure. It is expected that the first generation of Nodes, which will be selected end of this year by countries, will soon be opening access to researchers. More details about Euro-BioImaging infrastructure can be found in the Summary of the Euro-BioImaging Business Plan.
