Take part in the Galaxy Image Analysis Hackathon!
Jointly organized by NFDI4BIOIMAGE and Euro-BioImaging, we invite you to bring reproducible image analysis worksflows to the cloud. Have you established worksflows that make bioimage data analysis FAIR? Help others reuse your workflows by making them available for the bioimaging community in Galaxy! The event takes place in Freiburg from February 26th to March 1st 2024. It is a hybrid event, online participation is possible.
