France-BioImaging at the Euro-BioImaging All Hands Meeting 2026

    France-BioImaging at the Euro-BioImaging All Hands Meeting 2026

    Announcement

    From September 15 to 18, France-BioImaging joined the Euro-BioImaging All Hands Nodes Meeting 2026 in Turku, Finland, under the theme “Connecting the Communities”.

    This meeting brought together imaging infrastructures, Nodes, researchers, technology experts and industry partners from across Europe to exchange experiences, showcase emerging technologies and discuss how to strengthen collaboration within the Euro-BioImaging community.

    Several topics particularly resonated with the France-BioImaging community:

    • Multimodal & multiscale imaging
      From advanced microscopy and nanoscopy to X-ray imaging and other complementary approaches, the meeting highlighted the power of combining technologies to explore biological systems across scales.
    • AI & bioimage analysis
      AI is rapidly transforming imaging workflows. Discussions and presentations showcased new approaches for AI-assisted image analysis, scalable computational infrastructures and the development of more efficient and accessible imaging workflows.
    • Connecting infrastructures & communities
      A recurring message throughout the meeting: infrastructure is not only about technology. Training, expertise, coordination and collaboration are essential to make advanced imaging accessible and useful to a broad research community.
    • From research to innovation
      The meeting also explored opportunities to strengthen links between academic research, research infrastructures and industry – from collaborative projects and technology development to pathways towards innovation and industrial applications.
    • Building the future of bioimaging together
      The All Hands Meeting was a great opportunity for France-BioImaging to connect with European partners, exchange experiences and follow the exciting developments shaping the future of imaging research.

    A big thank you to Euro-BioImaging ERIC and the Finnish hosts for bringing the community together in Turku! 

    Looking forward to the next opportunities to connect, collaborate and advance bioimaging across Europe!
