12 Conclusions 2 CONCLUSIONS ON PREFERRED TRAINING SCHEME General preference for both theoretical and practical face to face courses or workshops, which coincides with most commonly existing training activities scheme. When analyzing the preferences by years of experience, there is a higher tendency towards online resources in the younger generations. Note: Training office activities under EuBI framework should preferably focus on providing face-to-face training schemes

27 Summary of conclusions (2/2) The majority of providers are universities, followed by public research institutions and university hospitals key target groups: graduate students and postgraduate fellows consequently level of training provided: beginners / intermediate Balance between biological and biomedical imaging Evaluation and quality control in place mostly at official education providers (i.e. Universities) impact on definition of operational rules training activities under Euro- BioImaging framework High interest (over 88% of respondents) in a centralized, standardized and quality controlled repository of training activities and materials

28 Issues to be discussed Based on your professional experience are there any key courses that are not currently being offered by European institutions? do you have a clear preference for certified courses or do you prefer more informal ones? Main criteria for attending Advanced Courses? Industrial representatives: are the conclusions in line with the needs of industry? Eligibility criteria for training activities? Other?

46 COLLABORATION WITH WP12

47 Modeling the access pipeline Expectations Standards Costing model(s) Contract model(s) IPs Project merits Implemented costs Access to technology Access to advanced probes Access to expertise Access to data Technical merits Collaboration/ Service Access to method(s) Access to software & analysis tools

48 Generic access pipeline model - Working model for user access to RI s of any kind - Critical evaluation of the project (technical merits and scientific excellence) - Discussion and agreement about the cost coverage btw the user and the provider incl. the potential for collaboration - When accepted, project would in general be granted full and open access to all resources provided by the RI (for example: technology, expertise (including training), methods, probes, data, software and analysis) - The evaluation and decision process will be aligned with the Euro- BioImaging guidelines - This pipeline model will be further iterated as the survey results are being evaluated and the experience of the proof-of-concept studies will be gathered.
