Working Groups

Euro-BioImaging will develop a plan to construct and operate a distributed set of complementary infrastructure facilities, to allow a nucleated use of resources. This core Euro-BioImaging objective will be met by its 13 Preparatory Phase Work Packages, which will receive further input from dedicated Working Groups. 
Working Groups comprise Beneficiaries and Associated Partners and are headed by the two Work Package chairs.

 
 
 

Technical Working Groups

Five technology Working Groups will evaluate the needs of relevant biomedical imaging user communities and correspondingly prepare a plan for construction and operation of infrastructure facilities appropriately distributed across the European member states.

 
Advanced Light Microscopy - General Access
Access to a broad range of fluorescence microscopy methods across all member states
 
Advanced Light Microscopy- Access to Innovative Technologies and
Medical Imaging- Access to Innovative Technologies
Access to innovative imaging technologies which are not easily accessible
(new / under development / not yet commercially available / too expensive for individual institutes)
 
Molecular Imaging
Access to optical tomography and related light microscopy methods as well as multi-modal molecular imaging in animal models and the development and testing of new imaging probes
 
Medical Imaging - Patient to Population
Access to standardized infrastructures for clinical trials, image guided interventions and population imaging
 
Overarching technical objectives will be addressed by the following three Working Groups:
 
User Access
Develop a plan for harmonized and standardized access protocols to infrastructures, services and resources
 
Training
Develop a plan for a comprehensive and coordinated training platform for biomedical imaging
 
Develop an integrated plan for image data management methodologies and protocols, quantitative data processing
 
 

 

Strategic Working Groups


Essential to realize the establishment of the required framework for Euro-BioImaging the strategic Working Groups will work on overarching objectives:
 
Legal, Governance & Ethical Issues
Define the legal and governance model under which Euro-BioImaging will be constructed and operated
 
Develop a finance plan in close cooperation with the national funding bodies in Euro-BioImaging member states as well as with the European Commission
 
Process Plan
Develop an overarching business, construction and operation plan for the Euro-BioImaging infrastructure
 
Networking and Communications
Communicate with all Partners and Stakeholders and integrate Euro-BioImaging into the European and global research infrastructure landscape
 
Monitor and coordinate activities of the Euro-BioImaging project and guarantee a smooth flow of information
