The AI4Life Community Event comes to a close. We wrapped up with a big-picture discussion around the sustainability of services and the role that AI4Life plays in the EOSC.
Thank you to everyone who joined us in Helsinki and online! 🦒
Stay connected 💚

Industry collaboration is key to real-world impact. @zeiss-microscopy.bsky.social is a contributor to CAREamics, one of the BioImage.IO community partners. Also, Bioimage.IO models can be applied right after image acquisition with ZEN API. We need more of that!

🧩 The dream: FAIR models and data. Only standards can solve the MxN problem, and this session is exactly about that. And we wrap up today’s workshops with a group reflection:
Why are FAIR resources essential for scientific progress?
