The consortium NFDI4BIOIMAGE

The NFDI4BIOIMAGE consortium was brought to life by members of German BioImaging - Gesellschaft für Mikroskopie und Bildanalyse (GerBI-GMB) together with partners from the Leibniz Research Alliance Health Technologies (Medical Photonics).
As a consortium within Germany's National Research Data Infrastructure (Nationale Forschungsdateninfrastruktur, NFDI), NFDI4BIOIMAGE is collaborative project of 23 partner institutions:

  • Eleven so-called (Co-)Applicants are the partner institutions with the main responsibility for the consortium's project goals.
  • Twelve Participating Institutions contribute to the project on a sustained basis by working on specific tasks and developments within the consortiums Task Areas. 

NFDI4BIOIMAGE comprises a collaboration of legally independent partners. The consortium does not act autonmously towards third parties. All members of the project represent the contributions of their respective affiliated institutions who work together in the course of the project.
