foundingGIDE aims to establish the basis of a coordinated Global Image Data Ecosystem (GIDE) by developing common recommendations for ontologies and metadata, together with the wider global bioimage data community.

At foundingGIDE we are dedicated to championing best practices in image data sharing and facilitating the exchange of bioimage data among major repositories. We aim to leverage the network of experts at Research Infrastructures and various community initiatives to make image data a FAIR global resource.

A key step towards creating a global image data ecosystem is to connect the community. We invite you to the first foundingGIDE community event that will bring together various stakeholders from the global imaging data community to Okazaki, Japan.

Dates: 31st of October to 1st of November 2024
Location: Okazaki Conference Centre, Okazaki – Japan and Hybrid
Topic: Connecting communities in the Global Imaging Data Ecosystem
Deadline: 15th of September (in person), 30th of October (hybrid)
Agenda: Full Agenda

The event will focus on ideas exchange between bioimage data producers and consumers, data resource owners and maintainers, and bring them together with funders, policy makers, and other relevant stakeholders to identify the current landscape, needs, and directions of future developments in the global imaging data ecosystem.

What to expect

We will have three main sessions designed to explore the current landscape of the global imaging data ecosystem.

Session 1: Policy and Funders, Communities
Session 2: Ontologies and Metadata in BioImaging
Session 3: Towards FAIR image data

We will also have three interactive breakout sessions designed to foster collaboration and deep-dive into specific community challenges and opportunities.
