On April 4th, 2025, Euro-BioImaging Finland held its official Kick-off Meeting at Biomedicum, Helsinki, celebrating the newly awarded 28 million euros in national infrastructure funding and the prestigious “Lighthouse” status on the Finnish Research Infrastructure Roadmap 2025–2028. Euro-BioImaging Finland was chosen as one of six Finland’s highest quality infrastructures, so-called lighthouses – forerunners with broad societal impact. With this record funding granted by the Research Council of Finland, Euro-BioImaging Finland will develop new imaging technologies and services, and new methods based on artificial intelligence.
