The Panel of Facilities meets three times a year, with one meeting held in person. The photo shows our most recent meeting held at Roskilde University during the Danish BioImaging Symposium on 11-12 June, 2025.
The Panel of Facilities is an assembly of representatives and staff from the Danish Biolmaging Core Facilities in Denmark. The Core Facilities decided to initiate this Panel after the 1st Danish Biolmaging Facility Meeting in October 2021. The panel was formed in order to discuss best ways to exchange knowledge of techniques, booking systems, visions for microscopy and job shadowing. In addition, since Denmark joined Euro-Biolmaging as a node in 2021, a representative in Euro-Biolmaging (EuBi) to represent the Danish facilities had to be elected, a task undertaken by the panel.
Purpose of the Panel of Facilities
Representation in Euro-Biolmaging: Panel of Facilities will discuss subjects proposed and debated in Euro-Biolmaging and will decide on matters concerning Denmark’s role as a node in Euro-Biolmaging, with a common voice.
Networking and knowledge sharing: Panel of Facilities will discuss problems common to the facilities represented and share knowledge about new trends, solutions and technologies.
Facility training: Panel of Facilities will facilitate training and course/workshop activities and inform about grants for shadowing for facility staff and for visits between facilities in Denmark.
Duties of the Chair and Vice-Chair for the Panel of Facilities (PoF):
Call for PoF meetings: Coordinate with the DBI Coordinator to schedule meetings and ensure all members have the opportunity to contribute to the agenda.
Advocate for PoF members: Work for the benefit of the PoF members and Danish Bioimaging as a whole.
Represent the Danish Imaging community: Ensure the community’s interests are represented in Euro-BioImaging – speak on behalf of the entire Danish BioImaging community, to convey the common consensus.
Report to PoF: Communicate decisions and minutes from Euro-BioImaging meetings to the PoF.
