2023-11-29: NFDI4BIOIMAGE hosted its first Hackathon in multimodal image data integration.
The first successful NFDI4BIOIMAGE - TA3-Hackathon - UoC-2023 took place between November, 29th and December, 1st. All participants from various TAs (Task Areas) of NFDI4Bioimage and our DataPLANT guest actively contributed via presentation, hacking, discussion and documentation on four topics corresponding to various measures in TA3 (Task Area 3) of NFDI4BIOIMAGE. This event was jointly organised by members of CECAD Imaging Facility, CEPLAS, C3RDM, RRZK & TRR341 + support from CECAD-IT, the RRZK Cologne, and LIN Magdeburg: Eik Dahms, Niraj Kandpal, Astrid Schauss, Andrea Schrader, Monica-Valencia Schneider, Peter Zentis, Moritz Hoevels, Daniel Wickeroth, and Torsten Stöter. The workshop results are available to the community on Github: https://github.com/NFDI4BIOIMAGE/Cologne-Hackathon-2023/tree/main. This work will serve as the basis to continue advancing this effort during the de.NBI Biohackathon in December 2023.
