Flanders BioImaging - VIB Light Sheet Symposium

In this joint Flanders BioImaging & VIB Light sheet training event, we aim to bring together the imaging community. We want to look at the Flanders landscape and connect the different imaging communities of pre-clinical imaging and microscopy. We will start off with a poster session from the community and get updates on new possibilities on the preclinical side. Beyond that, we want to venture into new territory and explore light sheet and mesoscale solutions that are at the interface of preclinical and microscopy imaging.

Consequently, at the core of this event is a symposium on Light Sheet imaging, where we bring together the community, local experts, and leaders in the field to explore the latest advancements in light sheet microscopy. We will feature academics, and industry experts to discuss the state of the art.

Flanders BioImaging

Flanders BioImaging (FBI) is an interuniversity consortium dedicated to biomedical imaging and advanced light microscopy, that was set up to integrate, optimize, rationalize and coordinate available imaging infrastructure in Flanders, facilitating access to external users.

In 2022 the consortium was successfully evaluated as a candidate node by the EU EuroBioImaging (EuBi) project, which achieved European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC) status in 2019.

FBI also coordinates with EuBI, the Flemish Research Data Network (FRDN) and the ELIXIR ERIC to develop Open and FAIR data management tools for biological and biomedical imaging in Flanders and beyond.
