⏳ Extra time unlocked!
The #AI4Life challenges deadline is now August 31 — more time to train, tweak, and triumph with your best AI models for bioimage analysis!

🚀 Take on the challenge:
1️⃣ Denoising: https://ai4life-mdc25.grand-challenge.org/
2️⃣ Calcium Imaging: https://ai4life-cidc25.grand-challenge.org/

3rd challenge from AI4Life! We're inviting the community to design unsupervised models that preserve spatial & temporal patterns in neuronal data.

📅 Open till Aug 11, 2025
🚀 Join now: https://ai4life.eurobioimaging.eu/challenge-3/

🐾 The BioImage Model Zoo just got a major upgrade!

It has been fully redesigned, offering a new backend, model uploader, community curation tools, and integrated browser-based test runs powered by BioEngine. 🧪

The second AI4Life Challenge is now live:

We're calling on the AI & bioimaging community to tackle one of microscopy’s biggest hurdles - removing acquisition noise while preserving biological detail.

📦 Real paired datasets (noisy + clean)
📈 Ground-truth-based evaluation
🧠 Focus on deep learning approaches
🔁 Build, test, improve, and compete!

Contribute to better image quality and more accurate science.

Ever wished your AI model could test itself before you download it? Now it can.

AI4Life has a new model evaluation platform that connects models from the BioImage Model Zoo to real data in the BioImage Archive.

The AI4Life Community Event comes to a close. We wrapped up with a big-picture discussion around the sustainability of services and the role that AI4Life plays in the EOSC.
Thank you to everyone who joined us in Helsinki and online! 🦒
Stay connected 💚

📘 Where science meets policy: Stefan Liebler (European Commission 🇪🇺) shares insights on Open Science, AI, EOSC, and how projects like AI4Life support the European research strategy. But also, he showcased notebooks running on the EOSC EU node! 🤖

☁️ Interoperability in action: AI4EOSC’s AI4Life cloud marketplace lets researchers run BioImage.IO models. A true success story of aligning European infrastructure for science. Thanks to our friends at AI4EOSC for making this possible!
