A few years ago, LBIC set-up the goal become more active at a national and international level in the field of bioimaging. This has for instance resulted in an increased collaboration with the national research infrastructure SciLifeLab, several new research collaborations for example with Kings collage in London and part in EU financed projects. The latest news is that just before summer it was announced that LBIC was accepted as a member of the European research infrastructure called Euro-BioImaging!
Euro-BioImaging is a is a state-of-the-art distributed European research infrastructure consortium (ERIC) established in November 2019 to provide world-class biological and biomedical imaging services to life science researchers across Europe. Euro-BioImaging’s mission is to provide all researchers with imaging services that bridge biological and biomedical imaging and facilitate innovative and world-class research. Whatever the scale of your imaging, Euro-BioImaging will give you the tools and support to explore and answer your research questions.
For researchers, innovators, industry partners, and European stakeholders in life sciences, biomedicine, and beyond, Euro-BioImaging offers open access to an extensive array of cutting-edge imaging technologies, expertise, dedicated training programs, and image data services. Euro-BioImaging provides a centralized, coordinated infrastructure that significantly enhances research capabilities, supports innovation, accelerates scientific discovery, and builds proficiency in imaging technologies and image data management. Importantly, Euro-BioImaging provides the staff at participating imaging facilities opportunities to grow their European and international network, receive training, and brings collaboration and education opportunities.
The services offered by Euro-BioImaging ERIC are accessible throughout Europe, currently spanning 18 member states and EMBL. Most Euro-BioImaging services are provided by 41 Euro-BioImaging Nodes, which are internationally renowned imaging facilities in the member countries.
