The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) has announced over $1.3 million (€1.2 m) in funding to support Global BioImaging; an international network of bioimaging facilities and communities coordinated by EMBL, with Euro-BioImaging as one major partner. The three-year grant will support Global BioImaging’s work to promote community building and training worldwide, and in this way also facilitate scientists to access the latest imaging technologies....
Euro-BioImaging is a publicly funded, non-profit research infrastructure. Hence, the costs for scientists to access Euro-BioImaging services are kept to their minimum, with the sole aim to allow running the infrastructure. The costs vary – for instance, while access to data services is normally free of charge, access to technologies generally involves a fee. For more information please click here....
In March 2020, Euro-BioImaging will launch its next Call for Nodes. Cutting-edge imaging facilities hosted by Euro-BioImaging member states and prospective member states will be invited to submit their Expression of Interest to become part of this new European research infrastructure for imaging technologies in the life sciences, to openly offer their services to all European scientists and beyond. If you are interested in this call, you can find the procedure, criteria and the application ...
Following the successful first board meeting of Euro-BioImaging on 12-13 December in Helsinki, Euro-BioImaging is now operational and the login feature of the Euro-BioImaging Web Portal has been activated. Users can now login to the portal and submit proposals to access Euro-BioImaging imaging technologies. https://www.eurobioimaging.eu/login(The previously used Interim Web Access Portal can no longer be used to submit new proposals, but it remains online for processing previously subm...
On 29th October, 2019, after more than 10 years of preparatory work with active engagement from 25 national imaging communities, the European Commission officially established Euro-BioImaging as a European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC). To mark this achievement, Euro-BioImaging published a Special Edition Newsletter to give recognition to the community's effort in this process and revisit the importance of this remarkable achievement for European life science research. Read the newsl...

NEUBIAS is a forum to exchange the newest findings, applications, and cutting-edge developments in ...
The European Commission has officially established Euro-BioImaging as a European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC). With its ERIC status, Euro-BioImaging is now legally recognised as a European research infrastructure for biological and biomedical imaging. All Euro-BioImaging services are accessible via www.eurobioimaging.eu.Euro-BioImaging ERIC is hosted by Finland, and the Statutory Seat of the ERIC is located in Turku, Finland. The Euro-BioImaging coordinating Hub consists in add...
In October 2019, the first physical meetings of Euro-BioImaging’s Bio and Med Nodes took place at EMBL (site of the Bio Hub) and Torino University (site of the Med Hub). Together with Node representatives, Hub team members, national imaging coordinators and Euro-BioImaging Industry Board members gathered at both meetings; resulting in lively, interactive discussions including: methods to boost user outreach; raising financial support for transnational user access to Nodes; and, the generation ...
Tobias Kletter is a PhD-student in the Reber lab at Humboldt-University of Berlin, Germany. His research in the area of cell biology focuses on how mitotic spindles are adapted during cell differentiation. When some of his new experiments required automated microscopy techniques, together with his PI, Simone Reber, he applied to access the technology and expertise at the Euro-BioImaging Node at EMBL via the iNEXT open call. They found the application process to be straightforward and received po...
