Working closely with ABIC, Samira presented the activities and achievements of the Africa division, including the grants obtained by Global BioImaging which have enabled the hosting of African researchers within the France-BioImaging nodes, facilitating access to imaging technologies for both research projects and professional training. The meeting also provided a major opportunity to discover and better understand imaging infrastructures in Africa, their needs, their organization, and the prospects for collaboration. Exchanges with local platforms emphasized the importance of supporting capacity building and fostering broader access to advanced imaging technologies.

This participation has thus contributed to strengthening existing partnerships and encouraging the emergence of new collaborations.
