This year, Czech-BioImaging is celebrating its 10th Anniversary, marking a decade of providing open access to cutting-edge imaging technologies to enhance scientific research in the Czech Republic and internationally. Over the past ten years, we have helped advance biological and medical imaging, supporting thousands of researchers and fostering innovations across a variety of research areas. A Decade of Innovation and Impact Since its establishment, Czech-BioImaging has become a leader in providing access to state-of-the-art imaging facilities in the Czech Republic. With 16 imaging facilities and partnerships with 10 institutions, we annually serve more than 1,300 researchers. “Thanks to our data, researchers publish over 200 scientific papers annually,” says Pavel Hozák, Director of Czech-BioImaging. “We offer a broad range of imaging methods and provide access to more than 200 specialized instruments, which are also available to international users through the European infrastructure Euro-BioImaging ERIC.” Special 10th Anniversary Event To mark this significant milestone, a special meeting took place on March 18, 2025, at the Institute of Molecular Genetics of the Czech Academy of Sciences in Prague. The workshop titled “Long-term Sustainability of Research Infrastructures”, brought together key representatives from Czech-BioImaging, Euro-BioImaging, and the Ministry of Education, Youth, and Sports of the Czech Republic. The workshop focused on the long-term sustainability of large research infrastructures, ensuring that these resources continue to benefit future generations of researchers and advance scientific discovery. Following the workshop, an evening program was held at Jazz Dock in Prague, providing an opportunity for networking and informal discussions among experts and stakeholders in the bioimaging field. Looking Ahead: Imaging Principles of Life Conference 2025 As part of the anniversary celebrations, the Imaging Principles of Life Conference 2025 will feature a special program to honor Czech-BioImaging’s 10 years of success. This event will offer presentations, discussions, and insights into the future of bioimaging technologies, and it will be a fantastic opportunity for collaboration, networking, and innovation.
