A Bioimage Analysis Community Meeting, NEUBIAS2020
Posted by Kota Miura, on 14 November 2016
Learn and Communicate Bioimage Analysis
NEUBIAS2020 conference is a new annual meeting of the BioImage Analysis community. We are very glad to invite you to the first conference in Lisbon (Portugal) on 12-17th of February 2017, hosted and co-organized by the Gulbenkian Institute of Science.
The conference aims to promote knowledge- and technological- transfer between all the players of the BioImage Analysis Community: Life scientists, Image Analysis and Software Developers, Microscopists, BioImaging Facility staff, and most importantly: Biomage Analysts, a new profession in Life Science that NEUBIAS aims to support and promote.
In brief, the event articulates in four parts:
- A Training School for Early Career Investigators
- 12-15 Feb. Oeiras, Portugal
- 25 seats available, on selection
- Application deadline 30/11/2016
- Travel Grants Available.
- A Training School for BioImage Analysts
- 12-15 Feb. Oeiras, Portugal
- 25 seats available, on selection
- Application deadline 30/11/2016
- Travel Grants Available.
- A Taggathon
- 13-15 Feb. Oeiras, Portugal
- A working meeting of NEUBIAS to develop repositories and benchmarking
- On invitation basis
- A BioImage Analysis Symposium
- 15-17th February, 2017, In Lisbon, Portugal
- OPEN TO ALL
All are now open to registration.
The symposium
The Symposium aims to offer a broad view over the latest developments and updates in Bioimage analysis and can be attended independent of registration to training schools. It includes
- A Showcase giving exposure to open source software packages and tools updates
- Company’s products
- Community round tables
- Career path debates
- Community progress report
Bioimage Analysis will be covered as a broad field of Research, Technology-development and Service-for-Data-Producers (i.e. researchers in Life Science) in the context of many types of BioImage data: Optical Microscopy, Electron Microscopy, Medical Imaging, among others.
More About NEUBIAS, Mobility Grants, Careers, Action
The Network
NEUBIAS is a network Action funded by COST (www.cost.eu), aiming to maximize the impact of advances in imaging technology on the Life Sciences, and to boost the productivity of bioimaging-based research projects in Europe. The Action intends to provide a stronger identity to Bioimage Analysts by organising a new type of meeting fostering interactions between all stakeholders (i.e. NEUBIAS 2020).
Please visit our webpage for more information.
Mobility Grants
NEUBIAS also provides mobility funds for scientists willing to expand their knowledge in Bioimage Analysis and/or to develop Image Analysis capabilities for their research project.
Check the next Call for Short Term Scientific Missions, closing on November 15th, 2016.

Career Actions: Our Request
NEUBIAS also needs the input from the whole community to devise best-practice guidelines for the career path of BioImage Analysis, a new profession still not fully recognized in the field. If your work activity embraces Bioimage Analysis to support Life Science (as a service, collaboration etc…), please take 5 minutes to fill our new “Career Consultation”:
