2022,  Mouse Imaging Academy (MIA)

 

 

We regret to inform you that the MIA 2022, normally taking place in November, must be cancelled. Due to the continuing unclear situation of the coronavirus pandemic we are obliged to make this decision. We probably would not be able to offer the Hands-on-Sessions that are the essential and main part of the whole workshop.

In addition to the coronavirus situation, the laboratories hosting the MIA workshop will be moving to their new premises in the newly constructed Multiscale Imaging Centre, probably at the end of this year.

We intend to offer the MIA Hands-on course again in 20233 if practicable. In the meantime, we will explore the use of virtual teaching concepts, not to replace but to complement the essential hands-on experience.

 

We hope that we can welcome you at the next Mouse Imaging Academy in Münster in 2023 in the new labs further integrating a wide spectrum of imaging modalities. You will find more details about the new format and dates at the beginning of next year.

Thank you for your understanding and stay healthy!
