Flanders BioImaging: towards an integrated, translational and multimodal imaging platform from molecule to man (FBI) KU Leuven
Imaging has become a key technology in life sciences and clinical research. As an ESFRI project, Flanders BioImaging (FBI) historically consists of two main multisite nodes: FLAMINGO (Flanders Molecular Imaging Organisation) and LIMBO (Light Microscopy BioImaging Operations), that were both successfully evaluated in the EU EuroBioImaging (EuBI) project at its Interim operation (ERIC status now). The primary aim of this project is to anchor both consortia in order to provide international researchers access to an integrated high-capacity network of state-of-the-art imaging infrastructure ...
Mercator telescope (MERCATOR) KU Leuven
With this project, we request funding to pursue the operations of the Flemish Mercator Telescope in the 2021-2024 timeframe under the ongoing Flemish-Spain bilateral international agreement. The application’s budget covers the cost of two technical staff members based at La Palma, Spain (this is the minimum number of staff members under which one can operate the telescope all year round), one postdoctoral researcher employed at KU Leuven performing Mercator science exploitation on a joint IAC-KU Leuven Mercator project, as obliged under the bilateral agreement as well as the running and ...
