Industry resources
Increasing expertise through training
Innovation is often facilitated by bringing new techniques, knowledge and applications to a given problem. Increasing technical expertise and building competencies through training can therefore drive new ideas and innovation. Developing capacity and new skills among our Nodes will also have the added benefit of harmonising the user access experience to technologies within the Euro-BioImaging portfolio and maintaining the high standards of our facilities. In addition, coordination of training activities and lowering access barriers to training also has the potential to make training for both Nodes and EBIB members more cost efficient.
Training resources by our EBIB members
Imaging companies on our Industry Board are committed to providing the best support to imaging facility staff and instrument users, and to increasing expertise through training. In addition to offering dedicated networking and training activities for Node staff in collaboration with Euro-BioImaging, they also permanently offer a wide range of freely available resources through their own digital channels.
The tables below present an overview over the different platforms for comprehensive training material and product information offered by our Board members from general principles to specific technologies and applications.

Webinars and on-site trainings
In collaboration with the Euro-BioImaging Hub, we actively identify Node training needs via direct consultation with the Euro-BioImaging Nodes with the aim to facilitate training opportunities in both biological imaging and biomedical imaging. We develop specialized training offers such as
- technology workshops at suitable Nodes, company training sites or online webinars
- presentations and demonstrations by companies during Node-organized workshops
- knowledge exchange workshops on emerging trends imaging and the innovation process
Workshops
The EBIB will organize at least one Euro-BioImaging stakeholder event annually, either as a satellite to a major imaging conference or as stand-alone meeting at one of our Nodes.
Workshops will be designed around a focus topic selected in consultation with the EBIB members and Euro-BioImaging Nodes and open to a small number of external participants. The events provide an overview over the Euro-BioImaging’s technology portfolio with respect to the selected topic. Euro-BioImaging Nodes will be able to showcase their related capabilities and representatives from EBIB will highlight new technologies and products. EBIB and Node case studies of previous successful industry collaborations will be prioritised for presentation. Workshops will also provide an opportunity for imaging technology providers and academic and commercial users to discuss new technology trends, new user applications and the imaging needs of the scientific community.
