4 days of #ELMI2026 have just come to an end. A huge thank you and congratulations to @ppbioimaging.bsky.social for an outstanding organization and hospitality. It was an honor to participate and represent @nfdi4bioimage.bsky.social's work within this great scientific community. 👏🙏
At #ELMI2026 now listening to @virginieuhlmann.bsky.social from BioVisionCenter at UZH Zürich, showing how OME-Zarr, ngio, and platforms like Fractal bring us closer to enabling (re)use of very large bioimaging data within modular image analysis workflows. Bringing tools to the community faster. 👏
@jo-soltwedel.bsky.social presenting about how important FAIR data management is for efficiently leveraging AI in a trustworthy manner. Small differences in underlying data annotation and metadata can effect AI-based analysis output a lot. #ELMI2026 @gerbi-gmb.de #OME-Zarr
Team @gerbi-gmb.de and @nfdi4bioimage.bsky.social have arrived at #ELMI2026 in the beautiful city of Coimbra, Portugal! We're super excited about this event, now about to kick off with the Core Facility Day. 🔬

🐿️ This week you could meet some of our colleagues at the FDM-Werkstatt in Münster. Various RDM tools were presented, tried out and discussed at the community workshop, including in a session with our @nfdi4bioimage.bsky.social colleague Jens Wendt. He explained how to embed OMERO.iviewer in eLabFTW.
