We are happy to announce that the first EU-funded canSERV call is open and is now accepting applications to support cancer research projects. The researchers can apply for FREE SERVICES at several European Research Infrastructures, including Euro-BioImaging ERIC. Deadline for proposal submission is January 4th, 2024. Within this canSERV call, our Finnish Advanced Microscopy Node (FiAM) and Finnish Biomedical Imaging Node (FiBI) are providing open-access imaging technologies and expert services to academic, industrial and SME users:

FiAM:

• Multimodal Advanced Light Microscopy (includes image analysis),
• Super-Resolution Microscopy,
• Electron Microscopy and CLEM,
• Mesoscopic Imaging,
• High Throughput Microscopy/High Content Screening.

FiBI:

• Intravital microscopy,
• MagnetoEncephaloGraphy & MRI,
• Preclinical MRI,
• Preclinical PET-CT Imaging,
• Preclinical SPECT-CT Imaging.

Some important highlights:

• All external users even those from Finland are eligible to apply for FiAM and FiBI services via the canSERV call
• Projects applying for less than 3 services and with an overall budget of less than 15 000 euros, will be reviewed in fast-track. This means they will not have to wait for the January 4th, 2024 deadline to enter review and can potentially be processed and approved much quicker.
• Even though image analysis is not listed as a separate service, users can apply for it via Multimodal ALM, even for standalone image analysis projects

The Euro-BioImaging team is happy to support you in making the most of this opportunity. Please reach out to canservprojects@eurobioimaging.eu if you have any questions.
