Industry resources
Increasing expertise through training
Innovation is often facilitated by bringing new techniques, knowledge and applications to a problem. Increasing expertise through training can therefore drive new ideas and innovation. Build capacity in imaging expertise amongst the Nodes will also have the added benefit of streamlining user access to technologies within the Euro-BioImaging portfolio. It also has potential to make training for EBIB members more cost efficient.
Industry Internships
Euro-BioImaging is collaborating with several MSc degree programmes in Europe (MSc in Cell Biology and Advanced Microscopy (Amsterdam, NL)/MSc in Cell Imaging (Rouen, FR)/ MSc in Advanced Medical Imaging (London, UK)/MSc in Biomedical Imaging (Turku, FI)) to promote student mobility between and from participating institutions. Euro-BioImaging supports the organization of student exchange from short visits in an academic research group, core facility or company, to internships or entire Masters’ theses.
In a pilot phase, ZEISS and TissueGnostics GmbH will be offering internship positions to participants of the MSc Programme in Biomedical Imaging in collaboration with Turku. For more information, click here.
Many of our other Industry Board members also offer internships or part-time positions independent from above-mentioned programmes to students. Please check out their career portal directly to find current openings.

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.
- 2018 – Image Data Workshop, EMBL Heidelberg
