Our Aims
The Training Working Group is dedicated to help staff members by enhancing their knowledge and capabilities in the field of advanced imaging. Through a wide range of training activities, we focus on both foundational principles and cutting-edge innovations in microscopy. Our goal is to ensure that every staff member/user gains the skills and confidence needed to effectively apply the latest imaging technologies in their daily work. Whether you’re just getting started or looking to deepen your expertise, we’re here to support your development every step of the way.
Current Activities
- Training Activities – we focus on creating tailored training activities for both new and experienced users, offering courses and workshops that boost proficiency in cutting-edge imaging technologies.
- Organizing Courses or Job Shadowing Opportunities – we organize events for the internal PPBI community to foster knowledge sharing and collaboration among members. These events can take various forms, such as courses or job shadowing opportunities, covering activities like quality control procedures, sample preparation, microscopy technology, and image analysis.
