There are many ways to get funding for your project involving biological imaging. The simplest way is through Euro-BioImaging – France-BioImaging external users can access more than 50 services across our 30 core facilities with a waiver of the costs of access. But for specific project types, you can receive increased funding and France-BioImaging services via a range of European projects in which Euro-BioImaging is access provider. See which currently available funding for imaging facilities is most suitable for you, below!
France-BioImaging Access Fund
[26/03/2025] Important: Due to the budgetary situation and consequently the lack of visibility on our 2025 budget, we unfortunately have to suspend FBI Access Fund until further notice. Thank you for your understanding. Any related questions can be addressed to: caroline.thiriet@france-bioimaging.org
This fund is available for FBI external users or users from one FBI regional Node who want to access an equipment available in another FBI regional node (national and international) registered through the Euro-BioImaging portal. They will receive a waiver for the costs of instrument access (up to 750€ per week per project for a maximum of 3 weeks) on FBI facilities.
Eligible costs: use of the instrument fees, user training if needed, data processing and analysis, and consumables costs for sample preparation, shipping of samples for remote access.

Researchers from academia, industry and SMEs may apply for several services including: i) disease models, ii) advanced technologies for personalised oncology, iii) biomarker research and development, and validation, iv) new therapeutic solutions, v) accelerated translation into personalised oncology clinical practice, vi) open digital research services, vii) access to human samples and data, viii) clinical trials and design and ix) ethical, legal and socio-economic services.
- 3rd call for user access projects in AgroServ: Funding for research projects related to interdisciplinary agroecology research projects
- AgroServ is a transdisciplinary project funded by the European Union under the Horizon Europe programme. It supports the research community by funding interdisciplinary agroecology research projects. The supported research will contribute towards sustainable and resilient agri-food systems, exploring topics like plant biology, water, soil, and microorganisms.
Within this project, Euro-BioImaging coordinates and provides FREE ACCESS to a portfolio of cutting-edge Biological and Biomedical imaging services. Since France-BioImaging facilities are part of Euro-BioImaging, our transnational users are eligible for these funding resources.
Only core facilities from our Ile-de-France Sud node are available through this call. The node will be happy to welcome you for your research project! For more information about the microscopy techniques you can use thanks to this call, please send an email to contact@france-bioimaging.org
