It is our pleasure to announce the first International Training Courses for Imaging Core Facility Staff organized by the Global BioImaging project consortium!
The two advanced courses address core facility staff working at Euro-BioImaging Node Candidates and at the international GBI partner institutions. The courses will take place back-to-back at the EMBL in Heidelberg (Germany) and will cover the topics of:
“Challenges in image data
management and analysis”
management and analysis”
The goal of the course on “Challenges in image data management and analysis” is to present the capabilities and technologies currently available to imaging facility staff in the field of image data management and analysis. The aim is to raise awareness on the current challenges in the field and to provide the course participants with a new set of tools (and references) that can be used tackle such challenges and improve their own facility’s working life.
“Management and operation
of imaging core facilities”
of imaging core facilities”
The course in “Management and operation of imaging core facilities” aims at providing an educational program for facility staff in the field of facility management and administration. It will entail a session on soft skills training, the presentation of case studies of imaging facilities in the fields of biological and biomedical imaging as well as visits to company-owned imaging centres.
If you or your colleagues are interested in participating, please apply here: http://embl-web.ungerboeck.com/reg/reg_p1_form.aspx?oc=10&ct=NORMAL&eventid=5477 no later than Sunday, the 18th of September 2016.
The Global BioImaging project can provide a limited number of travel grants to successful applicants from Europe (up to € 750) and overseas (up to € 2.200).
However for administrative reasons we need to charge a registration fee of € 150 per course to all participants. A reduced fee of € 250 will be applied to those of you interested in attending both courses.
Since the number of places available for the courses is limited and in order to assign the travel grants, the applications will be evaluated and the successful applicants will receive an invitation to the course(s) within the end of September.
Do not hesitate to contact us if you have any question, and please spread the news also to your colleagues!
With best wishes and kindest regards,

Dear colleague,
We would like to invite you to the Young Life Scientists’ Symposium 2016 “Advanced Imaging with Light Microscopy: Capturing Tissues to Single Molecules”, which will take place on Friday 28th October 2016 at Imperial College London, Hammersmith Hospital Campus, W12 0NN.
The YLS Symposium is a free event open to everyone who is using microscopy techniques for their research and wants to gain a deeper understanding in this field. Focusing on application of emerging advanced imaging techniques, image analysis and current research into imaging complex cellular processes, the YLS Symposium 2016 will cover a wide range of techniques and their applications, together with sample preparation and post-acquisition analysis workshops.
Keynote speakers feature Prof. Francesco Pavone,Laurent Cognet and Lothar Schermelleh, who will present their cutting edge research and major achievements during plenary lectures, followed by a Q&A session. The programme also includes oral presentations selected from abstracts, a poster session, an image competition (prizes would be given) and a discussion panel. The Symposium will be the perfect occasion for networking over provided coffee-breaks, lunch and a drinks reception.

Dear Colleagues,
The 6th Biosensor Meeting will take place on May 12th-13th 2016 at the campus of Orsay (Batiment des Colloques).
The GDR MIV Biosensor Group promotes the development and implementation of real time biosensor imaging approaches to decipher the spatio-temporal dynamics and underlying regulatory mechanisms of signaling cascades, kinase activities, protein-protein interactions and more: from single cells to complex biological systems including tissues, whole embryos and adult animals. This meeting gathers biologists, chemists and physicists developing fluorescent probes, reporters or biosensors whether genetically-encoded or synthetic, allowing for exchange of ideas and tools over two days. The format will be similar to the previous editions and will provide an opportunity to young researchers and confirmed scientists to share their work in the form of oral communications or posters.
The 6th edition will include a special focus on mechanical and chemical sensors.
Confirmed invited speakers are Carsten Grashoff (MPI Biochemistry, Munich, Germany) and Ranieri Bizzarri (Nanoscience Institute, Pisa, Italy)

The International symposium in BioNanoVision will bring together a multidisciplinary group of world-leading scientists to further our understanding on the fundamental molecular mechanisms that regulate cellular architecture, from nuclear organization to the cell membrane. These will include experts from the optical nanoscopy field, biophysicists, cell biologists, chemists and statistical physicists. Since super-resolution and single molecule optical techniques have been crucial to advancing our understanding of cellular structure and protein behaviour, we will place a special emphasis on the technologies that are enabling the visualization of molecular components at function with unprecedented spatiotemporal resolution.
We would like to invite you to take part in this exciting meeting, which will take place during 25-27 May 2016 in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, at ICFO – the Institute of Photonic Sciences.

The aim of the course is to acquire, by alternating courses, exercises and practical conditions, methods and constraints to the development of a provision of scientific equipment service. We insist on how to develop a contributory model for managing a scientific platform.
Main subjects we deal :
. Know how to read and write a technical specification within the framework of a tender
• Law, regulations of the tendering, billing service
• Relationship to the environment, mounting a local competence network, human relations at work, motivation in a group.
• Establish and improve its working organization with IT tools (Mind Mapping, Gantt Chart)
• Target the instrument you need and manage its obsolescence
• Evaluate the performance of the instrument and make it visible.

The spirit of this Summer School is inspired by the most prestigious school ever founded in France, Saint Flour, the influence of which has spread to generations of researchers in Mathematics. Since its establishment in Brittany in 1994, this school has become a worldwide reference. It is resolutely international (participants from more than twenty countries have participated to the previous editions) and accessible to young scientists. It is an open yet privileged place for exchanges and discussions of major on-going work. Informal and warm, at a location where the sea and the land combine in a time varying relation, this school brings together, every two years for ten days, the world great teachers and researchers in Biomedical Imaging.
Lectures, seminars, and discussions are organized at the highest level, but with the freedom of spirit that is the tradition of Brittany. The school objective is to contribute without any exclusion to advances in a rapidly evolving field, and to foster participation in the adventure of research. It provides up-to-date, state-of-art knowledge on emerging areas and addresses important issues dealing with complex, multivariate systems, going from basic to applied research.
