DG RTD Director General Marc Lemaître visits Euro-BioImaging headquarters

Today, we had the privilege of welcoming Marc Lemaître, Director-General of the Directorate-General for Research and Innovation (DG RTD), to Euro-BioImaging's headquarters in Turku, Finland.

During our strategic meeting, we discussed Euro-BioImaging's role in bridging European research and innovation and the strategic importance of research infrastructures in strengthening the European Research Area (ERA), supporting the EU missions and contributing to EU competitiveness, preparedness, and resilience. We also emphasised our commitment to supporting EU Missions and providing resilience and strength to a broad spectrum of European infrastructure needs. 

Our conversation also highlighted the active role of Euro-BioImaging across various scientific domains and projects, particularly with the European Innovation Council (EIC), widening countries, and different EU agencies. Overall, we concluded that European open-access infrastructures are a unique and tremendous asset in accomplishing the EU agenda and aims and providing scientific impact now and in the future!
