Congratulations to the successful applicants in the EVOLVE Call for Event Proposals!

Within the framework of the EVOLVE Project, Euro-BioImaging aims to raise awareness of imaging technologies, international collaboration, and Euro-BioImaging overall at Nodes’ hosting institutions.  With the second EVOLVE Call for Event Proposals, we invited our Nodes to help us organise strategic events focusing on engagement of the research community and  international collaboration. Here are the results.

A challenging selection

We received 15 highly competitive applications from 13 different Nodes in the second Open Call. The Selection Committee, composed of three Hub team members and two Scientific Ambassadors, graded the applications based on three criteria-oriented pillars. The first was the event’s relevance to the target audience and its ability to engage the scientific community. The second was the events’ qualitative impact, or its ability to raise awareness of imaging in the local communities and the general alignment with the objectives of EVOLVE, including a consideration for geographic diversity. The third criteria pillar was the event’s quantitative impact, an assessment of the amount of funds requested in relation to the event’s planned impact.   

Three winning events

We are delighted to announce that the first winning proposal came from the Belgian Node - Flanders BioImaging, Core ARTH Infinity in Ghent, Belgium. The event is called “Flanders BioImaging workshop on preclinical imaging and BMIC Congress"and it will take place in May 2026. The second winning proposal came from The Center for Advanced Preclinical Imaging (CAPI) in Prague, Czech Republic, for an event entitled “Imaging Horizons: Discover the World of Advanced Imaging Methods” that will take place in October 2026. The last winning proposal was from BioImaging UK, in York, The United Kingdom with an event "Discover the potential of new imaging modalities", taking place in May, 2026. A more detailed description of the selected events will be available soon.
