European life science researchers now have the possibility to use state-of-the-art imaging technologies, which they do not find at their home institutions or among their collaboration partners. All they need to do is to apply to Euro-BioImaging (EuBI)via our Interim Web Access Portal and visit one of the Euro-BioImaging Node Candidates (imaging facilities) to use their technology and profit from their expertise. 29 Node Candidates in 11 countries and at the EMBL host a range of novel imaging technologies via which scientists can study biological samples from protein to human size. This operation is part of the Euro-BioImaging interim activities, which are preparing the infrastructure for its full operation that is expected in 2017, after all legal requirements to become a European Research Infrastructure Consortium (EuBI-ERIC) will be finalized.
