BioDIP future development

Revision as of 11:14, 16 April 2021

Dear colleagues,

within our community there were ideas coming up to distribute some work that previously had been done by Isabel or Hella as well as some new ideas that we might want to take on. The idea was to have a rotating chair and co-chair and to establish working groups. Please see a first draft below and please insert your ideas and feelings about it! If you need editing rights, please get in touch with Silke W.

Many thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Chair, Co-Chair

• Yearly rotation:

• Chair -> released
• Co-chair -> chair of the next year
• New co-chair

• Responsibilities:

• Coordination (make sure that meetings take place and are documanted)
• Finding funding (WG?)
• Representation of BioDIP on events

Workgroups

• Each WG should have:

• A chair and a co-chair reporting shortly at least every other BioDIP meeting
• 2-6 members meeting regularly (about once a month)
• Regular meetings

• WG1 Events

  • demo organization
  • organization of the BioDIP seminars
  • supporting / organizing pubic relation events

• WG2 PR (so far Silke, Britta, Jens, Hella)

  • BioDIP on social media
  • collaboration with local institutional PR offices (press, TV)
  • national and international networking

• Alternative Proposal

  WG2 Website/Oline Presence

  • BioDIP website
  • BioDIP on social media

• WG3 Teaching

  • TaerZ

  • LNoS
  • teaching users, staff, public (e.g. seniors)

  • Do we want a separate approach or do we join [QUAREP]?
  • identify/cover topics, best practices, hacks that are complementary to QUAREP (yet relevant to local community)?
  • (nearly) foolproof procedures to avoid hardware damage

• WG5 EM (Tobias, Thomas, Thomas)

• WG6 Bio-image Analysis (Robert, <<Interested volunteers please enter your name here>>)

  • Research data management
  • Research software
  • Standardization
  • Networking / Knowledge exchange

• WG7 FLIM
