General information
Interested in learning hands-on about the latest microscopy techniques? In the middle of the Swabian Alb together with scientific talks from distinguished guest speakers? Right on the pulse of the latest microscopy developments?
All this is offered at our “Trends in Microscopy”, the biennial conference of GerBI-GMB, alias GerBI-GMB Spring School! With hands-on workshops and scientific lectures by renowned guest speakers, TiM is an intensive microscopy training camp. The programme will also cover the fundamentals of optics as well as practical sessions on image analysis.
Participants will stay at the conference venue, a beautifully renovated former military base in the unspoilt landscape of the Swabian Alb Biosphere Reserve. TiM2025 is particularly aimed at PhD students, postdocs and members of core facilities.

We are thrilled to announce that registration for TiM2025 filled up much faster than expected, and we are incredibly grateful for the overwhelming interest!
The deadline for abstract submission for the additional spots has passed, and we will send out feedback on the applications in January. We are currently fully booked, but you can join the waiting list to receive a notification if a spot becomes available: https://gerbi-gmb.de/machform/view.php?id=75145.
A limited number of single-day tickets are available for both industry and academic participants. Day tickets can be booked via the following link: https://gerbi-gmb.de/machform/view.php?id=78372.
For any questions about registration, contact registration.tim2025@gerbi-gmb.de, and for general inquiries about our TiM, feel free to reach out to tim2025@gerbi-gmb.de.
We look forward to welcoming all participants!
Participation fees for our TiM2025:
For our academic participants we will provide accommodation on the Albgut site. A limited number of single rooms with shared bathroom facilities will be available in the registration and will be allocated on a first come first served basis. The other room options are shared double room with private bathroom or with shared bathroom and will be selectable at registration. More information about the room options can be found here.
Industry participants are kindly asked to book accommodation for themselves in the vicinity of the event location (e.g.: Hotel Herrmann in Münsingen, Gasthof Hirsch in Auingen, Landhotel Wiesenhof in Heroldstatt, Hofgut Hopfenburg in Münsingen (tiny houses & circus wagons), …).
We welcome sponsorship contributions from companies for TiM2025. Our sponsorship brochure including all details can be found here.

At the TiM conference, the I3D:bio team intends to provide an OMERO-based framework for the on-premise FAIR data management during the meeting. We invite all conference participants and workshop providers to form a collaborative on-site test case for the practical application of FAIR data management for different imaging modalities or image analysis approaches. Read the official announcement here.
The TiM-OMERO server will also be accessible to software workshop providers. Images uploaded to OMERO will be available via APIs and directly from a fileshare on a HIVE. To ensure a smooth and effective experience for all participants, we kindly ask that software workshop providers prepare and upload their data in advance.

We are delighted to share our official partner country for TiM2025: France. We will not only welcome a number of French workshop providers, but also two speakers and a delegation of participants from the French microscopy community to our TiM2025 event. In France, a similar event, the MiFoBio, takes place bi-annually, and we are excited about the opportunity to exchange ideas, experiences, and best practices with our colleagues across borders.
We have reserved five spots for TiM2025 participation to members of the French community fostering deeper connections between the French and German BioImaging communities.
A highlight of this collaboration will be the contributions of the two French speakers, Mayeul Collot and Serge Monneret, who will share their expertise through insightful talks during TiM2025. We are looking forward to this enriching exchange and to strengthening the bonds within the international microscopy community.
