Light Sheet Symposium
Light Sheet Symposium
13 December 2023, 10h30 - 17h45
General context
Joint event between Flanders Bioimaging & VIB
In this joint Flanders BioImaging & VIB Light sheet training event, we aim to bring together the imaging community. We want to look at the Flanders landscape and connect the different imaging communities of pre-clinical imaging and microscopy. We will start off with a poster session from the community and get updates on new possibilities on the preclinical side. Beyond that, we want to venture into new territory and explore light sheet and mesoscale solutions that are at the interface of preclinical and microscopy imaging.
Consequently, at the core of this event is a symposium on Light Sheet imaging, where we bring together the community, local experts, and leaders in the field to explore the latest advancements in light sheet microscopy. We will feature academics, and industry experts to discuss the state of the art.
With this event, we aim to foster collaboration, share knowledge, and inspire innovation in this rapidly evolving field. Over the course of the event, attendees will have the opportunity to attend engaging talks, and network with peers who share a passion for light sheet microscopy.
Whether you’re a seasoned professional in imaging or new to this field, this event promises to be an exciting and enlightening experience.
As a community event, we will close the day with a reception to bring the communities together, celebrate, and discuss future projects.
- This event is free for academic participants. Please register so that we can plan the catering.
- During the registration process, you will be asked if you are planning to bring a poster. Please note that the number of posters will be limited and will be assigned based on a first come first served principle. If you are selected to bring a poster, we will contact you a few weeks before the event.
- Note that upon no-show without valid justification you will be blacklisted for the VIB training program for 1 year and for VIB participants the reimbursement of the catering costs (€ 50) will be charged to the research group. Click here for more information.
