European Life Science Research Infrastructures

Services offered by EATRIS include

• support funding applications (Identification of partners for consortium building, assessment of the project plan's impact and innovation potential)
• translational research facilities and expertise for development of novel biomarkers, diagnostics and therapeutics
• molecular, functional & hybrid imaging technologies, preclinical models, samples, patient cohorts, GMP manufacturing
• regulatory and Health Technology Assessment (HTA) expertise
• advice on intellectual property issues and industry partnering strategy (innovation management)

Costs are calculated on a case by case basis depending on the service required; some services can also be provided as part of funding proposals with EATRIS joining consortia as partner or subcontractor.
For further information please contact us.

Services performed can be offered either centrally by the coordination and support team based in Amsterdam or remotely by the EATRIS institutions.

Translating novel biology insights into effective interventions or medical applications is a highly complex process. It requires significant dedicated expertise, facilities and resources. We believe in your medical innovation and we want to support you by bringing together the multi-disciplinary expertise and infrastructure required for optimising your translational trajectory. Working with EATRIS gives greater confidence in the translational feasibility of your project and its impact.

Euro-BioImaging offers state-of-the-art imaging services through its internationally renowned facilities, called Nodes. Nodes cover the whole spectrum of biological and biomedical imaging, with an ever-growing portfolio of cutting-edge instruments. Researchers at any stage of their career can request access to over 45+ imaging technologies hosted at 33 Nodes located in 16 European countries and at EMBL. New technologies are included continuously to offer access to the most innovative and pioneering technologies on the market. 

Please visit the Euro-BioImaging Web Access Portal for detailed information about the offered services.

The access fees for each visit are individually discussed and agreed upon directly between the Euro-BioImaging user and the respective Euro-BioImaging Node as part of the pre-visit discussion during the project planning phase. The user is therefore fully informed of all costs that will arise related to the access to a Euro-BioImaging Node. The Euro-BioImaging Hub, taking care of all administrative work in Euro-BioImaging, do not charge any costs to the users!

Access support for users is announced on the Euro-BioImaging Web Portal.

Euro-BioImaging offers open access to its technology portfolio, which is put in place using a selection procedure based on scientific soundness and technical feasibility of the project. In most cases, scientists visit the requested Node to perform their experiments on-site, being supported throughout their project by expert technical staff. Access to the image data resources are remote, online and can be found via the Euro-BioImaging Web Portal.

All scientists, regardless of affiliation, area of expertise, or field of activity, can benefit from Euro-BioImaging’s pan-European open access services. For most technologies, scientists are invited to receive hands-on training at the imaging instrument of their choice so that they can generate the desired data sets themselves and expand their technological knowledge. Visits can vary in length between single days to several weeks or months, depending on the project’s need and individual circumstances. Scientists interested in accessing Euro BioImaging services simply submit a short description of their planned experiment via the online application portal. Senior scientists and Node staff will offer expert advice on the project’s scope and experimental set-up to ensure that the experiment has the best chance of success from the very first visit.
