Mission

Founded in 2017, German BioImaging – Gesellschaft für Mikroskopie und Bildanalyse e.V. (GerBI-GMB) serves as a pioneering society for light microscopy in Germany, a country historically influential in the development of optics. We represent the interests of researchers, professionals, and core facilities engaged in microscopy, research data management, and image data analysis within the life sciences.

Our mission is to foster collaboration and knowledge exchange among scientists, engineers, academia, and industry while advocating for our members’ interests with funding bodies. We are committed to enhancing public communication on microscopy and its applications in the life sciences. By actively participating in numerous national and international projects, we contribute to advancing research and supporting best practices in image data management.
