1) STSM Call: Continuously Opened-Call, Applications for the STSMs can be submitted any time and will be reviewed at the end of each month!
This activity is centered on “mobility grants”, also called Short-Term Scientific Missions. Early Career Investigatos (ECI) and and Experienced Image Scientists, from Research Labs AND Core facilities, can apply for funds to cover their expenses when visiting a Host Lab in a different country (Lab or industry) where they will perform a short scientific project focused on Correlative Multimodal projects, and that should enable: 1) collaborations on innovative CMI methods, 2) access to CMI technology and/or image analysis tools for scientists lacking them locally, 3) knowledge transfers to support careers and regional development. Please, find more details here and contact me or Julia for any question:
Julia Fernandez Rodriguez – COMULIS STSM Coordinator – juliafer@cci.sahlgrenska.gu.se
2) ITC Conference Grants
We support Early Career Investigators from ITC countries with travel grants to visit conferences on (multimodal) bioimaging & image analysis between November 15th, 2018 and April 15th, 2019. I’m specifically encouraging applications & poster submissions for the upcoming EMIM since COMULIS will have a session on Multimodal Imaging there.

With the aim of popularizing science through its aesthetic value, we are starting a collection of fluorescent microscopy images for the upcoming interactive exhibition, “Beyond Naked Eyes” and we would very much appreciate your participation!
The “Beyond Naked Eyes” exhibition will be held twice in the autumn/winter of 2019 in ® galleries situated in the city of Amsterdam and Den Haag in The Netherlands. We would like to invite you to share images produced during your research work that you find to be aesthetically pleasing and of interest to a broader audience.
A number of images will be chosen and presented during the exhibitions. The images that do not make it to the exhibition itself, may be published on ®’s online platforms.
WHO ARE WE?
Tsveta Malinova and Dr. Stephan Huveneers from the Laboratory of Vascular Integrity and Microenvironment at Amsterdam UMC (AMC) http://www.huveneerslab.eu/ in collaboration with the founder Luka Lekic and Delyana Feijtes from ® galleries
OUR AIM:
Fluorescence and advanced microscopy approaches are great tools for unraveling hidden cellular processes. However, it is undoubtedly clear that the images we create with these techniques have two dimensions – one laying on the scientific plane and the other being part of the artistic world. In this collaborative project we want to show the artistic dimension of bringing science and art together to reveal the beauty of our work and use it as a universal language which makes science understandable and accessible to everyone. With this exhibition we aim to use art to transcend borders and bring researchers from all over the world together to increase public awareness of what we do and popularize science in a new aesthetically engaging way.
GUIDELINES FOR IMAGE SUBMISSION:
Copyright protection: Copyright of the images will remain at all times with the photographer. Images will be used strictly in connection to the exhibitions and will not be used for any other commercial or marketing purposes. Image licensing will occur under Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International Public License.
Please, share our open call with your lab members/colleagues/facility users! We will greatly appreciate it! J
We are looking forward to seeing the artistic side of science and getting in touch with you!
Sincerely yours,
Tsveta Malinova,
also on behalf of Dr. Stephan Huveneers from The Laboratory of Vascular Integrity and Microenvironment in the UMC, Amsterdam ans Luka Lekic, ® galleries, The Netherlands

Nobel Prize winner William E. Moerner will give the keynote lecture at the Annual NVvM Meeting/DutchBiophysics 2015. His principal research interests are physical chemistry, single-molecule biophysics and super-resolution imaging. Moerner uses single-molecule optical spectroscopy and imaging, a set of ultrasensitive far-field and near-field laser techniques that allows researchers to detect and probe the optical properties of individual molecules. In this way Moerner explores local behaviour inside a solid, a liquid, or in a biomolecular system such as a single protein or enzyme in a living cell. In 2014, Moerner was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his work on microscopy techniques.

Microscopic imaging plays a crucial role in biological sciences, undergo rapid technological developments and is strongly developed in the Netherlands. In spite of its excellence, microscopic imaging efforts in the Netherlands, as well as in many other European countries, are fragmented and lack national and international visibility.
To overcome this problem, the Euro-BioImaging Consortium has been created (http://www.eurobioimaging.eu/) as part of the European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI). NL EuroBioimaging AM brings together microscopy centers and research groups involved in the development and application of microscopy techniques in the Netherlands. It is a platform for exchanging information, expertise and methodologies, and for creating access to the advanced microscopy infrastructure for the scientific community in the Netherlands. NL EuroBioimaging AM builds on the strong Dutch microscopy tradition, which stems from Zacharias Jansen and Antonie van Leeuwenhoek. By linking to EuroBioimaging, we aim to participate in building the European wide infrastructure for generating access to a broad range of cutting edge imaging technologies required for biological and biomedical research, as well as materials science and related research areas.
In the fall of 2011 the NVvM has invited all microscopists in the Netherlands to register to a new website. This website should give for each microscopy lab and centre a short description of the equipment and expertise available locally. In order to stimulate external researchers, lacking microscopy equipment and/or knowledge, to include (other) microscopy in their own research, a search option is available to look for labs with appropriate technology and expertise. We have received many responses from the Dutch Microscopy Centres and Microscopy Labs, resulting in the new website, now available at: http://www.microscopie.nl/eurobioimaging/ In case your laboratory is not represented at the website and you feel it should be included, you can still register at this site.

Euro-BioImaging Project
Euro-Bioimaging, http://www.eurobioimaging.eu, is one of four new biomedical sciences projects included in the European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI) roadmap update (published in December 2008), Euro-Bioimaging aims to become a European Research Infrastructure (RI) that will address the requirements for biomedical imaging stretching from basic biological imaging to medical imaging.
Euro-BioImaging will address the imaging requirements of both basic and medical imaging communities by creating nodes in many ESFRI member states that will deploy imaging infrastructure in a coordinated and harmonised manner and thus address the fragmentation of such efforts currently present in Europe.
Via the combination of technological and strategic objectives, Euro-BioImaging will provide key elements of successful infrastructures: supporting research, training and innovation in biomedical imaging across Europe.
Recently, NVvM is associated with the Euro-Biomaging project. The ultimate goal of this initiative is to create the governmental and financial framework for the Dutch research infrastructure that will make advanced imaging techniques fully available for the broad biological community.
On June 22nd, 2011, a meeting will be held with the aim to provide information on the Euro-BioImaging project and to give the representatives of institutions and research groups in the Netherlands involved in imaging and microscopy an opportunity to meet and discuss the best way to organize the national BioImaging program.
