The Connected Community will be driven by key societal challenges related to the development of advanced bioimaging tools and their analysis. We will actively involve extra-academic stakeholders to ensure the development of the community addresses the needs of the society. The key focus of our Community is the improvement of the analysis of microscopy images for basic research with a strong emphasis on biological and medical perspectives. The learning and research activities will be effectively combined within our Community to provide students with research-based learning experiences that foster their intellectual growth and contribute to the advancement of knowledge and we will make sure that our Community opens up its knowledge activities to a wide range of potential learners, including those who may not be able to engage in long-term physical mobility. We intend to include such students and enable them to benefit from an international experience.

Python for Bioimage Analysis Course at UPF | March 31 – April 2 2025
This 3-day course starts with an introduction to Python language and uses image data to familiarise participants with core programming concepts in a research-relevant manner. Participants will learn to use popular python libraries such as scikit-image, matplotlib and pandas to visualise, interact with and extract quantitative data from digital images. The course then delves into basic image processing operations and how they can be combined into practical bioimage analysis workflows, with a special focus on identifying biological objects and extracting their relevant properties (e.g. count, intensity statistics, morphology) by classical bioimage analysis and machine learningtechniques. The course also covers the use, programmatic scripting and user interface customization of Napari, a powerful multidimensional image viewer with a very active community. More information
AnDi+: AI for Bioimaging Beyond Trajectory Analysis Coference at GU | 2 – 5 June 2025
The ANDI+ workshop is an event to present the results of the 2nd AnDi Challenge, but it extends further to discuss data-driven approaches for all aspects of bioimage analysis.
The workshop is organized in collaboration with the CHAIR theme AI for Scientific Data Analysis and is part of the activities of the EUTOPIA Connected Community Bioimage Analysis.
Location: Gothenburg, Sweden
Dates: June 2nd – June 5th, 2025
