Our data stewardship team
Get to know our Data Stewardship Team for community support! NFDI4BIOIMAGE Data Stewards are scientists from diverse research fields with a focus on bioimaging. Working across different Task Areas within the consortium, they combine their knowledge and expertise to provide support for a wide range of data management cases.
No matter your research field, we are here to help with handling data acquired with microscopes. If needed, our team can also connect you with additional contact partners, for example within other NFDI consortia. The Data Stewardship Team is built by the community, for the community, to ensure that bioimaging data management is accessible and well supported for everyone.
To contact our Data Steward team for support in bioimaging data management, please use the Help Desk.

Training & outreach
The NFDI4BioImage training and outreach team connects the bioimaging community through clear, accessible, and engaging communication. We design and deliver hands-on training, share resources and updates across our channels. We translate complex bioimaging topics into formats that are easy to understand and use. Our goal is to support researchers at all career stages, foster exchange across disciplines, and make NFDI4BioImage’s services, standards, and tools visible and impactful for the wider community.
