The EoE2024, held in Okazaki, Japan, seamlessly intertwined with two other events: the ABiS Symposium and the first FoundingGIDE community event. This year’s theme, "Image Data Horizons – Global Strategies for Accessible Knowledge," spurred engaging discussions that extended beyond the sessions into coffee breaks and shared dinners.
The events spotlighted practical applications and tools for image data management. Together, they aimed to tackle challenges and devise strategies for broadening accessibility and inclusivity in bioimaging and biomedical imaging across the globe.
As the symposium transitioned into the FoundingGIDE event on the final day, the focus deepened on actionable steps for building a Global Image Data Ecosystem (GIDE). Participants explored how image data scientists, alongside funders, policymakers, and corporate partners, can collaborate to drive innovation and ensure equitable access to knowledge worldwide.
Thanks to all speakers, participants and organizers for an unforgettable event!
