Remote Access

In addition to visiting one of the Euro-BioImaging Node facilities and directly using one of the imaging systems, remote access offers a helpful alternative or additional access pathway to many Euro-BioImaging services.

Remote Access can include many different modalities - from mail-in sample shipment followed by the imaging facility staff performing the experiment in consultation with the users, virtual access to data and software solutions, or direct remote control of instruments.

Remote Access can also be combined with physical access as part of an overall user project under hybrid access.

Euro-BioImaging encourages and supports all its users to take advantage of the access modality most suitable for their project, circumstances, and to actively discuss with the hosting facility what access models are available.

Remote access improves the accessibility of Euro-BioImaging's services for all researchers who may not be able to travel to a facility and reduces the environmental impact of our service provision.

For more details on definitions of access types, please consult the European Charter for Access to Research Infrastructures.

Want to learn more about remote access and how it is provided?

Euro-BioImaging participated in the eRImote project. The eRImote project consortium collected a broad range of helpful documents, examples, and best-practise around how to provide remote and virtual access from Research Infrastructures across a broad range of domains.
These documents can be found in the eRImote Information Platform. And useful talks around the topic are available on the YouTube playlist below.
