Biomedical Imaging in the UK Node of Euro-BioImaging - Online Consultations

We're consulting biomedical imaging facilities interested in joining the UK Node of Euro-BioImaging.

Following our successful establishment of the biological imaging UK Node in 2022, we're now expanding to include biomedical imaging facilities. With £1.9M in new UKRI funding secured and £300K dedicated to biomedical user access, we're seeking facilities ready to become part of Europe's largest imaging infrastructure network.

Why Your Facility Should Consider Joining

As a Node member facility, you'll offer:

• Enhanced access to external researchers across the UK and Europe
• Connection to the Euro-BioImaging user access funding streams
• Participation in collaborative research networks

We're particularly interested in facilities with:

• Clinical Research imaging capabilities and advanced biomedical imaging techniques
• Pre-clinical in vivo imaging capabilities and advanced (multimodal) imaging techniques
• Existing external user programs or capacity for 20% external access
• Strong image data management and ethics frameworks
• Animal housing partnerships offering access to disease models (for pre-clinical facilities)

We Need Your Facility's Input

Your experience with external user access, capacity planning, data management, ethics approvals, animal licensing, and charging structures will directly inform the network requirements and application process.
