Join us for an exciting 5-day event where we will work together with experts on imaging ontologies and metadata. The event will focus on practical next steps to make these key components of image data management useful to the scientific community. More information on the hackathon can be found here.

In parallel there will be two workshops.

• OMERO Workshop (4th and 6th of November): this workshop is divided intro 3 parts:
  • Workshop 1: OMERO installation and configuration
  • Workshop 2: OMERO Imaging workflows, and
  • Workshop 3: Advanced Analysis with OMERO
  • more info here
• ilastik Workshop (5th of November): this will be a 1-day workshop on ilastik, a machine-learning-based image analysis tool, more info here.

There will be a limited number of selected participants.

The BioImage Hackathon is preceded by the foundingGIDE Community Event and by the Global BioImaging Exchange of Experience 2024 event. FoundingGIDE community event will bring together various stakeholders from the global imaging data community to Okazaki, Japan. Global BioImaging event will focus on the topic of “Image Data Horizons – Global Strategies for Accessible Knowledge“. Both events take place at the same location from 29^th of October to 1^st of November 2024.

We encourage you to make use of this opportunity and attend the back-to-back events that focus on global image data sharing. Please keep in mind that each of the three events has its individual registration form.
