Telling your local community about Euro-BioImaging

In order to raise awareness with the general public, we are delighted to invite our Node institutions to help us organise strategic events with funding from the EVOLVE project. We believe co-organising events together with our Nodes, focusing on key audiences such as the general public, will be very effective in raising the awareness of imaging technologies, international collaboration, and Euro-BioImaging overall. 

This work is co-funded by the European Union within the framework of the EVOLVE project.

Call Conditions

That’s why we are launching the EVOLVE first open call to support events organised in collaboration with Node staff & Node hosting institutions staff to engage with the local community/general public (ie. European Researcher’s Night, Science Night, Lab Day, school visits, etc.). These events should be designed to involve the local hosting institute (communications department, PR, press offices), and the local community. The target audiences for the events supported in this call are the general public (i.e. citizens, families, colleagues from other departments, and high school, middle school or elementary school students) in cities where Node facilities are located. EVOLVE will seek to select events that demonstrate the important role that imaging technologies and international collaboration play in resolving societal challenges (e.g. health, food security, climate, environment, or discovery science) and raise the visibility of Euro-BioImaging ERIC, imaging, and international collaboration, as well as the local institution, and the Nodes’ engagement with the infrastructure. 

Who is eligible to apply? 

Only Node hosting institutions are eligible to participate in this call. Communications departments, public relations departments  or equivalent at Node hosting institutions are particularly encouraged to apply.

How much funding is available?

The first call includes up to 10,000 Euros. Individual institutions may request up to 5,000 Euros each to support the organisation of an event, but smaller proposals are also welcome.

What is the timeline? 

Proposals should be submitted by 15 June 2025 at 5 pm CET. Decisions on funding are expected by mid July  2025. Events must be carried out by 30 October 2026 at the very latest. All project proposals must include a timeframe, even if tentative.

About the EVOLVE project

The EVOLVE project is a Horizon Europe project, co-funded by the European Commission, in order to support the development of Euro-BioImaging and raise its visibility with stakeholders. One key stakeholder group with whom we aim to raise visibility in the EVOLVE project is Node hosting institutions and the local communities where Euro-BioImaging Nodes are located, which is why we have launched this call for collaboration on events.
