In our Summer 2026 newsletter, NFDI4BIOIMAGE highlights recent developments and upcoming opportunities in bioimaging research data management. Highlights include the launch of the new Global BioImaging Spotlight Series on Bioimage Data, the extended call to participate in the NFDI4BIOIMAGE Community Survey 2026, and the publication of the consortium’s Interim Progress Report covering its first three years of activities.

The newsletter also features a range of upcoming events, including the European Light Microscopy Initiative (ELMI) Conference in Coimbra, the Boosting BioData Bootcamp in Aachen, the NFDI4LifeScience Conference, and international community meetings focused on imaging data, FAIR research practices, and bioinformatics. You are welcome to engage with these opportunities for training, networking, and knowledge exchange.

In addition, this edition points to recent talks, publications, and community resources on topics such as OMERO-based image data management, OME-Zarr developments, generative AI in bioimage data science, and open-source solutions for remote access to large imaging datasets.

From global community initiatives to practical tools and training opportunities, NFDI4BIOIMAGE continues to support researchers in managing, sharing, and analysing bioimaging data. Stay informed and connected by subscribing to the newsletter and following NFDI4BIOIMAGE on social media.
