A Journey to FAIR bioimage data

When: July 2, 2025, 15:30 – 16:30 (CEST)

As part of the STANDFLOW project, EMBL-EBI is hosting a series of webinars focused on the management and sharing of bioimaging and other multimodal data. The project connects cutting-edge imaging technologies with -omics approaches and utilizes complex datasets from research expeditions such as TREC (Traversing European Coastlines). Its goal is to support the implementation of standardized data flows in the emerging field of planetary biology.

While some webinars address challenges specific to environmental and marine biology research, several offer practical insights applicable to a broader research audience – particularly those working with imaging or other complex data types. All webinars are recorded and will be made available for on-demand viewing.

This session offers practical strategies for managing the growing volume and complexity of bioimaging data. It covers key tools and services, including OMERO for local data management, OME-Zarr for cloud storage, and REMBI (Recommended Metadata for Biological Images) guidelines for metadata annotation using ontologies. The webinar aims to equip researchers with the knowledge to store, annotate, and publish their data in line with FAIR principles, improving data accessibility and reuse across the scientific community.
