Mission

Our mission is to develop methods for assessing the quality of research facilities in the field of microscopy and image analysis.
The team “Quality” currently focuses on two topics:
- What is a Core Facility – Facility Recognition
- What quality does a facility offer – Facility Evaluation.
Activities
QUAREP-LiMi
The global initiative, “Quality Assessment and Reproducibility for Instruments & Images in Light Microscopy” (QUAREP-LiMi), initiated in collaboration with members of GerBI-GMB, encompasses a range of subjects related to “Instrument Specification and Standardised Measurements”. Individuals interested in contributing to this initiative are encouraged to join as members. To date, over 30 GerBI-GMB members have already joined this initiative, reflecting its growing interest and impact.
Current State
The team is currently engaged in the development of a core facilities recognition process. We propose the utilisation of a questionnaire as the primary decision tool. This questionnaire is currently undergoing a testing phase with the objective of collecting data and validating the decision process. Following this stage, consultations will be held with funders to ascertain their specific requirements. The overarching aim is to achieve GerBI-GMB approval and DFG recognition for core facilities, with a projected validity of three years.
