Closed GerBI Teams
Over the years, we have hosted many different Teams. The ones listed here have after many successful years been closed. The decision to close a team is made at the annual GerBI meeting. Check out their work here!
Image Data Analysis & Management
Activities
Image Analysis
Workgroup members have compiled a list with selected image analysis software packages which provides a short application overview and example tasks.
Within the GerBI-GMB Rent-the-trainer program, members can ask for support for image analysis training.
Image Data Management
NFDI
Representatives of German BioImaging participated in the first National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI) conference organized by the German Research Foundation and submitted together with the Medical Photonics consortium a joint Letter of Intent to the NFDI with the intention of founding the NFDI4BioImage consortium.

Report to the DFG Joint Committee (Hauptausschuss)
Please download Elisa’s talk here
The Joint Committee is the DFG’s main decision-making body. It bases its final research-policy decisions that relate to the DFG on resolutions passed by the DFG’s Senate. These especially pertain to decisions regarding the DFG’s budget and the general development of its funding policy. The Joint Committee decides on the implementation of new funding programmes and on modifications to existing funding instruments.
The Joint Committee is made up of 39 members of the DFG’s Senate, representatives from the federal government (with a total of 16 votes), 16 state representatives and 2 representatives from the Donors’ Association for the Promotion of Sciences and the Humanities in Germany.
Infrastructure Professorship
he German Council of Science and Humanities (Wissenschaftsrat, WR) published Recommendations on Career Goals and Paths at Universities (Empfehlungen zu Karrierezielen und -wegen an Universitäten). In this document, the WR identifies research infrastructures as a new area of activity for qualified academics at universities beside research and education. Heads of Research Infrastructures should be appointed at the level of professorships. The WR acted on a proposal from GerBI presented in the position paper “Infrastructure Professorship”. The paper is available only in German language.
Letter to DFG-Fachkollegiaten in Life Sciences
German BioImaging sent a letter to the DFG-“Fachkollegiaten” in the life sciences to draw attention to the possibility that user fees for microscopy core facilities can be applied for in DFG grants.
