Global BioImaging invites you to participate in a 7-day in-person bioimage hackathon focused on OME-Zarr next generation image file format.

Differences in nomenclature and data formats in the field of bioimaging data inhibit sharing. For users, translating between data formats is imperfect, time-consuming and must be performed repeatedly. Combined with the growing number of formats and advancements in both data volume and complexity, translation is increasingly a bottleneck.

For additional information please check the hackathon invitation.
Application deadline 25 December 2021
