Microscopy and Image Analysis Platform Freiburg (MIAP-Freiburg)

弗赖堡显微镜和图像分析领域的设施、研发实验室的优秀但仍然异构的结构，来自150个工作组的约500名用户将被整合到一个共同的单元，即显微镜和图像分析平台弗赖堡（MIAP-弗赖堡）。该平台的创始人共同拥有DFG资助规则定义的大约40个大型设备单元，以及大约10个用于显微镜和图像分析的开发和服务单元，这些单元将在一个公共门户网站下向来自学术界和工业界的大量外部用户开放。将通过阿尔伯特-路德维希大学、马克斯-普朗克免疫生物学和表观遗传学研究所和弗劳恩霍夫物理测量技术研究所的非大学研究单位以及巴塞尔的两个合作伙伴的生命和计算机科学的卓越科学和联合专门知识确保高度的国际知名度，并计划稍后在斯特拉斯堡进行。MIAP-Freiburg将建立一系列跨学科的研讨会和讲习班，深入探讨显微镜和相关领域的特殊主题。这些活动是作为学术界和工业界的合作安排的，目标是生命和材料科学中显微技术的科学用户，图像分析和软件开发领域的计算机科学家，基础研究的工程师和物理学家，整个显微镜领域的仪器开发人员以及世界各地成像设施的工作人员。为了迅速涵盖热门话题，讲习班和研讨会的主题将保持灵活性，并通过科学和工业领域的建议进行更新。为了促进网络的整合并提高国际知名度，讲习班将在该平台的本地机构以及巴塞尔的合作伙伴地点举办。这一概念已经得到了来自19家在显微镜和相关技术及软件领域的知名公司的意向书（LOI）的支持。在显微镜领域现有能力的整合和扩展是弗莱堡通往德国显微镜资源路线图框架内的国家节点以及相应欧洲网络（Euro-BioImaging）成员的里程碑。与巴塞尔以及稍后阶段与斯特拉斯堡成像设施的跨国合作将进一步证实这一点。这一系列研讨会和讲习班是朝着确定核心设施工作人员教育课程迈出的重要一步，也是为在大学或研究领域内使用或开发高端显微镜设备或方法的科学家工作的重要一步。工业界对这种新形式的工作坊的大力支持和参与，以及为工作坊配备的最新高性能设备，保证了与学术界的富有成效的交流

The excellent, but still heterogeneous structure of facilities, research and development labor-atories in the area of microscopy and image analysis in Freiburg with approximately 500 us-ers from 150 workgroups will be integrated into a common unit, the Microscopy and Image Analysis Platform Freiburg (MIAP-Freiburg). The founders of the platform own together ap-proximately 40 large equipment units as defined by the DFG grant rules, as well as around 10 development and service units for microscopy and image analysis, which will be opened under a common web portal to a large number of external users from academia and industry. High international visibility will be ensured by the scientific excellence and joint expertise of the life and the computer sciences of the Albert-Ludwigs-University, the non-university re-search units of the Max-Planck-Institute of Immunobiology and Epigenetics and the Fraunho-fer Institute for Physical Measurement Techniques, and two partners in Basel and also planned for a later stage in Strasbourg. MIAP-Freiburg will establish a series of interdisciplinary seminars and workshops covering in great depth special topics in microscopy and related fields. The activities, which are arranged as a co-operation of academia and industry, are targeted towards scientific users of micro-scopical techniques in the life and material sciences, computer scientists in the area of image analysis and software development, engineers and physicists from basic research, instrument developers in the whole area of microscopy and staff from imaging facilities world-wide. To cover hot-topics quickly, the workshop and seminar themes will be kept flexible and up to date by proposals out of the scientific and industry field. To foster the integration of the net-work and increase the international visibility, the workshops will be hosted at the home insti-tutes of the platform as well as of the partner sites in Basel. The concept is already supported by letter of intents (LOI) from 19 well established companies in the field of microscopy and related technology and software.The integration and extension of the available competences in the field of microscopy are milestones on Freiburgs way to a national node in the framework of a German Roadmap for microscopy resources as well as a member of the respective European network (Euro-BioImaging). The transnational collaboration with the imaging facilities in Basel and at a later stage in Strasbourg will substantiate this further. The series of seminars and workshops is an important step towards the definition of a curriculum for education of core facility staff, but also for scientists working at universities or industry within a research field using or developing high-end microscopy equipment or methods. The strong support and involvement of industry for this new format of workshops promises for a fruitful exchange with academia, as well as the newest high performance equipment allocated to the workshops
