Czech-BioImaging Hub

The administrative level of the infrastructure management is primarily represented by the Czech-BioImaging RI hub established at the host institution (IMG). The Hub team, in close cooperation with the Director and Vice-Chairs of Steering Committee, provides management and logistic support, coordinates educational activities and ensures that individual facilities work in synergy and function together as one big unit under the umbrella of LRI’s Business plan.
