Technology Access
Funding opportunities
There are currently several projects at the national and international level that include funding opportunities to support access to bioimaging activities, and/or support for the organization of bioimaging related events. We have selected some of the most relevant here (See list on the right panel and get to the relevant pages).

The ISIDORe project assembles the largest and most diverse research and service-providing instrument to study infectious diseases in Europe, with expertise from structural biology to clinical trials. Under the umbrella of 17 major European life sciences research infrastructures and infectious diseases networks coordinated by ERINHA, we bring together 154 research entities and organizations providing services to advance research on epidemic-prone diseases.

canSERV is an EU-funded project under the Horizon Europe programme that provides cutting edge, interdisciplinary and customised oncology services across the entire cancer continuum. The aim is to offer a comprehensive portfolio of oncology-related research services available to all scientists in EU member countries, associated countries and beyond.
The project unites a multidisciplinary consortium of 19 European partners, consisting of Research Infrastructures, key organisations in the field of oncology, project management and sustainability experts.

AI4Life is a Horizon Europe-funded project that brings together the computational and life science communities. Its goal is to empower life science researchers to harness the full potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) methods for bioimage analysis particularly microscopy image analysis, by providing services, and developing standards aimed at both developers and users. AI4Life promises to create harmonized and interoperable AI tools & methods via open calls and public challenges and bring these developments to researchers via strategic outreach and advanced training.

AgroServ project gathers more than 70 partners and aims at boosting the research for a resilient and sustainable European agriculture system, and the agroecological transitions. The overarching mission of AgroServ is to support research and innovation by providing customised and integrated RI services in view of achieving a sustainable and resilient agriculture and supporting agroecological transitions.
AgroServ features a vast offer of services at all scales, from the molecule, to the organism, to the ecosystem, and to the society. AgroServ goes beyond the state-of-the-art because allows users access, for the first time, to make use of a consistent, integrated, and customized offer of services from several RIs spanning all relevant disciplines: they bring together several types of expertise, disciplines and technologies, integrating competences from chemists, biologists, agronomists, ecologists, bioengineers, analysts, sociologists, economists.
The transdisciplinary offer of services will have a high impact on the future of the food system, preserving biodiversity and reducing the impact of agriculture on climate. The consortium will work closely with partners from the society, farmers, industry, citizens and policy makers, through living labs and towards the establishment of evidence-based policy, and codeveloped practices in agriculture.

individual “Mobility Grants” with two programs:
BNMI Short-Term Scientific Missions (STSM) program – STSM will strategically contribute to the BNMI scientific aim of maximizing image-based research outputs by enabling 1) collaborations on innovative imaging methods, 2) access to imaging technology for scientists lacking them locally, and 3) knowledge transfer to support careers and regional development.
These scientific missions are aimed at supporting individual mobility, strengthening the existing networks, and fostering collaborations in between the Nordic countries by allowing (i) Early Career Investigators (ECIs), PhD students, postdocs, and also (ii) experienced Imaging Scientists to visit an imaging core facility in another Nordic Country.
BNMI Job shadowing program – gives the opportunity to technical and managerial staff of the Nordic imaging core facilities to visit other Nordic imaging facility and learn from their peers. Job shadowing is an “on-the-job” learning opportunity. Job shadowing program is open to the staff of imaging core facilities that offer biological imaging.
