The Panel of Facilities meets three times a year, with one meeting held in person. The photo shows the Panel of Facilities’ in-person meeting during the DBI Symposium on June 25, 2024, where Thomas Hartig Braunstein presented the outcomes of the Euro-BioImaging All Hands Nodes Meeting in Torino last April. He attended this meeting representing the Danish Node.

The Panel of Facilities is an assembly of representatives and staff from the Danish Biolmaging Core Facilities in Denmark. The Core Facilities decided to initiate this Panel after the 1st Danish Biolmaging Facility Meeting in October 2021. The panel was formed in order to discuss best ways to exchange knowledge of techniques, booking systems, visions for microscopy and job shadowing. In addition, since Denmark joined Euro-Biolmaging as a node in 2021, a representative in Euro-Biolmaging (EuBi) to represent the Danish facilities had to be elected, a task undertaken by the panel.

Purpose of the Panel of Facilities

Representation in Euro-Biolmaging: Panel of Facilities will discuss subjects proposed and debated in Euro-Biolmaging and will decide on matters concerning Denmark’s role as a node in Euro-Biolmaging, with a common voice.
Networking and knowledge sharing: Panel of Facilities will discuss problems common to the facilities represented and share knowledge about new trends, solutions and technologies.
Facility training: Panel of Facilities will facilitate training and course/workshop activities and inform about grants for shadowing for facility staff and for visits between facilities in Denmark.
