IMPRESS (https://e-impress.eu/) is an EU-funded scientific project aiming to expand the horizon of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to novel interoperable arrangements via a new generation of instrumentation. IMPRESS stands for Interoperable electron Microscopy Platform for advanced RESearch and Services.
The goal of the project is to design and deliver TEM instrumentation conceived at the highest level of open standards and interoperability. The architecture of this innovative platform will be based on interchangeable components that can be readily customized by scientists and further adjusted, taking into account the needs of users from different scientific communities. The goal is to make TEMs flexible so they can be adapted to a diversity of multimodal experiments, instead of adapting experiments to TEMs.
The GEMSTONE project aims to improve Acibadem University's neuroscience research, focusing on neurodevelopmental aspects of brain disorders through Genetically engineering Experimental Models (GEMs). It focuses on genomics and genetic engineering to improve the understanding and treatment of neurodevelopmental brain disorders. The project aims to create detailed animal models, particularly using genetically engineered mice, to study the pathophysiology of such disorders. The project involves creating models that imitate human brain disorders. This allows for the study of gene function and testing of potential therapeutic agents. The methodology includes targeted genetic manipulation and the use of advanced technologies, such as adeno-associated virus (AAV) delivery systems, to introduce transgenes. This increases the specificity and efficiency of genetic modifications.
The project aims to expand ACU's expertise, networks, and visibility in neuroscience by collaborating with Lund University and Fondazione ICONS. The focus is on gaining knowledge in neurodevelopmental pathways and enhancing organizational capacity. The outputs will include staff exchanges, publications, new collaborations, and dissemination activities. This will consolidate ACU's position as a leader in neuroscience.
Discover Global BioImaging—a global network connecting imaging communities and research facilities across 61 countries and 13 dynamic networks, dedicated to addressing the challenges faced by imaging scientists worldwide. As a hub for international collaboration, it empowers scientists to overcome shared obstacles in managing open-access infrastructures in the life sciences. Through its three core activities—annual meetings, training/ job shadowing programs, and working groups—Global BioImaging promotes the exchange of ideas and discussions on the scientific, technical, and strategic issues essential to operating these facilities. Furthermore, it champions the vital role of imaging research in advancing the life sciences, working closely with policymakers and funders to secure investments in imaging technologies and open-access infrastructures, which are crucial for groundbreaking discoveries and tackling today’s global challenges.
We are in the process of setting up a museum on electron microscopy in the mid of Germany at Nuremberg, with at least an European outreach.
The museum is intended to open up in 2031, the 100-year-anniversary of Ruska`s invention of the electron microscope.
Our intention is to preserve the history and communicate the ongoing importance of electron microscopy while promoting education and research in this field.
We will not only show instruments of various manufacturers restored to working order, we will also collect important documents and provide interactive education and hands-on applications.
Our project is aimed at students, scientists, the general public and even young children. Everyone will be welcome to explore the world of electron microscopy. Please support us !
Join us to learn about Irbis, a newly developed software for the analysis of 3D/4D fluorescence microscopy images, with a focus on neuronal models and a goal to expand to other biological systems. Irbis is designed to process data from various microscopy modalities, including volumetric, single molecule localization, and single particle tracking, emphasizing their interplay and temporal aspect. Primarily, it addresses research questions related to the structure and dynamics of dendritic spines. To do so, it allows for the reconstruction of detailed 3D models of dendrites with precise segmentation of individual spines and synaptic regions, and tracking their morphological changes over time. Designed as a freeware standalone application, Irbis is user-friendly, requires no programming skills, and will soon be available for researchers.
Join us at the Open Science Area for a personalized demonstration of the Microscopy Image Browser (MIB, https://mib.helsinki.fi), a powerful open-source tool for advanced image processing, segmentation, and quantification of multi-dimensional microscopy datasets. Featuring cutting-edge deep learning tools for 2D, 2.5D, and 3D workflows, MIB helps you maximize the potential of your data. With its intuitive interface, MIB is accessible to researchers of all levels, including those without a background in AI or computer science. Don’t miss this opportunity to see MIB in action and learn how it can transform your research. See you there!

We are Czech and German young microscopy societies tailoring our activities to early career microscopists. Students, doctoral candidates and postdocs often rely on their lab’s network.
We provide scientific and social platforms for early career microscopists to build their own network. Moreover, we foster the interdisciplinary exchange among physical-, material- and life sciences.
We expand the network across borders by collaborating with other young microscopy groups as we do at the joint booth of the yCSMS and yDGE at the EMC2024. Join us!
We are a national facility for cryogenic electron microscopy, tomography and electron diffraction.
We are part of a Nordic group of cryo-EM facilities including Copenhagen, Årrhus, Stockholm and Umeå centers called cryoNet
FAIRmat (https://www.fairmat-nfdi.eu/fairmat/) is a consortium with contributing partners in many German research institutions and users from all over the world that develops and operates the Novel Materials Development platform NOMAD (https://nomad-lab.eu/nomad-lab/) and lets you manage and share your electron microcopy and other materials science data in a way that makes it truly useful to you, your group, and the community. The NOMAD software that runs the world’s largest data base for ab-initio computational materials data now also supports uploading, visualizing, and processing experimental electron microscopy research data and their annotation with well-defined and interoperable metadata that establish links between related datasets. It is available open source to be run as a local installation (NOMAD-Oasis) in your lab with the option to easily share your data with the rest of the world or just your research partners. It allows for processing of your data directly on the server, without downloading any software - supporting you in making your data and its processing FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, and re-purposable).
The FAIRmat consortium is a consortium of the NFDI (National Research Data Infrastructure initiative in Germany). We provide the condensed-matter physics and chemical physics of solids community with the infrastructure, tools, and knowledge to make their research data FAIR.
