Image Data Community Days 2026

Discover the range of image data services offered by Euro-BioImaging Nodes, supporting users with image analysis, management, visualization, and beyond. Hear how these services have advanced research and enabled new scientific insights.

This session explores the research data lifecycle through the lens of FAIR principles, featuring showcases and best practices from Euro-BioImaging Nodes and partners to guide effective data planning, processing, sharing, and reuse.

This session explores how community‑driven Next‑Generation File Formats (NGFF) and evolving metadata standards are improving the way bioimaging data is shared, accessed, and reused. Building on these advances, the foundingGIDE project illustrates how coordinated infrastructure efforts can apply these developments to create more interoperable and sustainable bioimaging research environments.

This session introduces data management, quality control, and image processing tools for biomedical imaging developed by Euro-BioImaging Nodes and the wider scientific community. Designed for both preclinical and medical imaging scientists, these tools aim to improve workflow efficiency and analysis accuracy. Participants will learn how these solutions can streamline imaging data processing and support more reliable research outcomes.

This session explores image data management and applications across diverse research domains, featuring talks on the OSCARS FIESTA project’s data workflows in Galaxy, the Bioimage Model Zoo, and key EOSC developments to enhance cross-domain interoperability, accessibility, and innovative use cases.

This session features flash talks showcasing innovative image analysis and data management tools. Discover new solutions, hear from experts, and foster collaboration within the imaging community.

Working with image data can be fascinating, but it can also feel a bit isolating at times. Whether you spend your days refining algorithms, managing or curating datasets, interpreting results, or are just beginning your journey in the field, we invite you to join us in the image.sc Gather instance for a relaxed networking session for image data professionals of all backgrounds.

This is an opportunity to connect with peers, exchange experiences, and share insights about careers, collaborations, and the broader world of image data. No demos or analysis required; just bring your curiosity, an open mind, and perhaps a virtual beverage of choice.

A weekly virtual meeting for the imaging community, where Euro-BioImaging Node experts, users, technology developers and partners discuss imaging techniques in practice and explore new and emerging technologies.
