Euro-BioImaging User Forum: Understanding Plant Biology
Published: 2023-06-28
The next Euro-BioImaging User Forum will take place on Thursday, October 12, 2023, from 2 pm-5 pm CEST. The topic is "Understanding plant biology." This event will highlight how cutting-edge imaging technologies can support research into the structure and function of plants, shed light on plant health, resilience and adaptability, and help answer agroecology-related research questions. We will showcase the specific expertise available at our Nodes across Europe through case studies presented in tandem with the research community and provide information on funding opportunities for agroecology-related research projects via the AgroServ project.
Who should attend:
Researchers from both academia or industry, Master’s and PhD students, post-doctoral fellows, anyone involved in plant biology research and interested in the potential of biological and biomedical imaging technologies to boost this research.
