RMS and Global BioImaging agree framework for collaborative working
The RMS is delighted to have agreed a ‘Collaboration Framework’ with the Global BioImaging network to seek new opportunities for collaborative working.
The agreement sets out ways in which the two organisations aim to work more closely to advance Global Imaging Science and Community Engagement.
Examples include helping to promote each other’s events, combining communication efforts to increase the reach of mutually supported initiatives, and sharing knowledge, resources and best practices to strengthen the global imaging community.
RMS Chief Executive Sali Davis said: “We’re really looking forward to exploring new opportunities for joint-working with our colleagues at Global BioImaging.
“As an international, outward-looking society, the RMS has always sought to reach out to the global microscopy community. Wherever opportunities present themselves, we’re really keen to work more closely with partner organisations which share our commitment to advancing imaging science and building a global community of imaging professionals.”
Global BioImaging is an international network of imaging infrastructures and communities, established in 2016. It currently brings together 13 partners representing imaging communities from 64 countries across Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, Latin America, and North America. The network is dedicated to addressing the challenges faced by the global imaging community by promoting international cooperation and proposing solutions that advance imaging technologies and research infrastructures.
GBI Coordinator Antje Keppler said: “At Global BioImaging, we believe that collaboration is the cornerstone of scientific progress. We're genuinely excited about this first-of-its-kind agreement with the RMS, which underscores our shared values and contributes to a more interconnected and impactful global imaging community.”
Strategic Alliances Manager Yara Reis added: “Together, we are advancing international cooperation that not only empowers today’s imaging scientists but also drives transformative breakthroughs with far-reaching benefits for all."
