NEUBIAS 2020 is a new series of annual international Conference centered on BioImage Analysis, which includes 3 parallel events and a common Symposium/Showcase.

It brings together Life-Scientists, BioImage Analysts, Image Analysis Software developers and other Core Facilities Specialists (e.g. Microscopists) to bridge the gap between BioImage Analysis developments and know-how, and their use in Life Science. It aims to be a forum to exchange the newest findings, applications and cutting-edge developments in BioImage Analysis, machine learning, data mining and storage.

NEUBIAS 2020 is the major annual gathering of NEUBIAS, a COST Action gathering 34 European countries and International Partner Countries, and aims to bring together ~250 scientists from the BioImage Analysis Community.

NEUBIAS2020 reflects the need to foster the networking between image analysis developments and their end-users. The interest and need for image processing in life sciences are strongly growing, a reality that was reflected in the success of earlier related events like the EUBIAS in Barcelona in October 2013 (eubias2013.irbbarcelona.org/) and Paris in January 2015 (eubias.org/eubias2015), from where NEUBIAS project has stemmed and matured.

The event combines, in a compact 6-days event:

• Two Training schools (on selection),                       
  • For Early Career Investigators - parallel- 
  • For BioImage Analysts
• One Taggathon (working meeting, on invitation)
• One Open Symposium/Showcase on Bioimage Analysis and Open Tools
