France‑BioImaging’s community thrives thanks to its strong ties with thematic research networks and technical communities, which anchor our infrastructure in the daily needs of scientists and engineers.
Key partner communities include:
- RTmfm: Professional thematic network for light microscopy core facilities engineers, sharing protocols, best practices and technical expertise
- RIME: Professional thematic network for electronic microscopy core facilities engineers, focused on sharing protocols, best practices and technical expertise
- GDR IMABIO: National research group uniting physicists, biologists and engineers to explore new imaging methods and analysis tools and technology transfer.
Together, these communities:
- Organise workshops and hackathons
- Build living technical watch databases
- Identify emerging user needs and steer new developments
- Promote reproducibility and FAIR data practices
Their feedback continuously shapes FBI’s priorities, ensuring that technology and service offerings remain aligned with the fast‑evolving landscape of life science research.
