The Euro-BioImaging Scientific Ambassadors program aims to raise awareness about the services and opportunities provided by Euro-BioImaging. Our Scientific Ambassadors act as catalysts, connecting with like-minded individuals who share a common goal to impact in their communities. By effectively communicating the services offered by Euro-BioImaging, our Scientific Ambassadors play a crucial role in expanding the reach of Euro-BioImaging. Through their advocacy and engagement, Scientific Ambassadors help foster a greater understanding of Euro-BioImaging services, making imaging technologies more accessible for researchers and creating opportunities for collaboration, scientific advancement, and innovation in bioimaging.
You should become a Scientific Ambassador if you believe in the Euro-BioImaging mission of providing open access to imaging expertise and want to help spread the word about this fabulous opportunity to other researchers. But being a Scientific Ambassador can also contribute to your personal and career development. As a Euro-BioImaging Scientific Ambassador, you can expect a range of valuable offerings and support throughout your journey:
Welcome pack: Upon joining the program, you will receive a special welcome pack containing branded items such as a t-shirt, stickers, bag, pen, notebook, etc. These items not only serve as a token of appreciation but also allow you to represent Euro-BioImaging proudly.

Euro-BioImaging will actively promote and highlight your activities through various communication channels, including social media platforms and newsletters. This visibility showcases the impactful work you do as an ambassador, inspiring others to engage with Euro-BioImaging and its services.
How it works
The Euro-BioImaging Scientific Ambassadors program follows a structured process consisting of three distinct phases that unroll over one year in close collaboration with Euro-BioImaging Hub team staff.
Onboarding phase
During the onboarding phase, which lasts approximately one month, you will be introduced to Euro-BioImaging along with other selected Euro-BioImaging Scientific Ambassadors. This phase aims to foster a sense of community and provides you with a comprehensive understanding of Euro-BioImaging’s mission, services, and opportunities. You will have the chance to explore different aspects of Euro-BioImaging and identify which areas are most interesting to you and where you would like to develop your knowledge further.
Running phase
Once the onboarding phase is complete, the running phase begins, spanning a period of one year. This phase allows you to choose your preferred activities from a diverse portfolio of options Euro-BioImaging offers or propose your own innovative ideas. The aim is to provide you with a range of impactful activities that align with your interests and strengths.
Offboarding
Lastly, the offboarding phase marks the conclusion of your journey. As a token of appreciation for your dedication and efforts, we will award you with a digital badge recognising your contribution as a Euro-BioImaging Scientific Ambassador. This ensures that your valuable work continues to benefit others beyond the program. We will collect your feedback and impressions on the process of being a Euro-BioImaging Scientific Ambassador so you can shape the continued development of this program. And your profile will stay on our website!

Tampere, tuo mustamakkaran ja Manserockin kotikaupunki, sai torstaina 14.11. uuden sulan hattuunsa, kun Suomen Solubiologit ry:n seminaari rantautui ensimmäistä kertaa Pirkanmaan kamaralle. Tämän Life Science Business & Innovation -teemalla markkinoidun tapahtuman suunnittelu aloitettiin seuran hallituksen voimin heti huhtikuussa vuosijuhlahumun hälvettyä. Hallituslaisten osoitteiden sijaitessa poikkeuksetta muualla kuin Pirkanmaalla tarvitsimme kuitenkin myös kaksoisagentin Tampereen yliopiston sisältä. Kyseiseen tehtävään valikoitui lehtemme paikallistoimittaja Elina Mäntylä, jonka apu osoittautui lopulta korvaamattomaksi niin seminaaritilojen hankinnassa kuin sponsorien rekrytoinnissakin. Hänen lisäkseen saimme avuksi myös paikallisen bioteknologian opiskelijoiden ainejärjestön Biopsi ry:n, jonka kanssa oli jo korkea aika päästä yhteistyöhön muullakin tavoin kuin somenäkyvyyden saralla. Heille lankesi vastuu välikahvituksen ja seminaarin jälkeisen verkostoitumistilaisuuden tarjoiluista.

Paikan päälle Tampereelle pääsi lopulta neljä hallituslaista, eikä tämän kaliiperin tapahtuman toteutus olisi paikallisvahvistukset huomioidenkaan paljoa pienemmällä porukalla onnistunut. Viimesyksyisessä Turun työelämäseminaarissa tehty osallistujaennätys ylitettiin jo pelkkien kampukselle saapuneiden voimin ja lisäksi myös etäosallistujia oli linjoilla ennätyslukema. Paikalla oli väkeä Tampereen yliopiston lisäksi ainakin Itä-Suomen, Jyväskylän sekä Turun yliopistoista ja edustusta täydensivät edellä mainittujen ohella Helsingin ja Oulun yliopistojen sekä Åbo Akademin affiliaatioilla varustetut etäosallistujat. Viime hetken ilmoittautumiset mukaan lukien lopullinen osallistujamäärä lähenteli peräti kahtasataa luoden erinomaiset puitteet rekrytoimallemme puhujakattaukselle sekä verkostoitumismahdollisuuksille.
Kuva 2. Kiinnostusta esityksiin riittää myös välikahvituksen jälkeen. Kuvaaja: Emmi Virtanen
Seminaarin ensimmäistä puoliskoa väritti vahvasti paikallinen edustus, kun lavan valtasivat perätysten Tampereen yliopiston innovaatiopalveluiden Helena Lähdekorpi, BioMediTech- laitoksen johtaja, professori Jari Hyttinen sekä OrganAnalytics R2B-projektia esitellyt Jarno Tanskanen. Ennen välikahvitusta ääneen pääsivät myös UPM Biomedicalsia edustanut Tomi Saviluoto sekä PrecisionPhage Oy:n edustaja Olli Pitkänen. Luentosalin vaihdon sekä sitä seuranneen kahvituksen ja tapahtuman sponsorien pöytien kiertelyn jälkeen oli jälleen aika keskittyä kuuntelemaan lisää mielenkiintoisia esityksiä. Toisen seminaaripuoliskon alku oli kuvantamispainotteinen Jenni Karttusen esitellessä Tampereen valomikroskopiakeskusta ja Elina Mäntylän kertoessa Euro-BioImagingin toiminnasta. Seuraavaksi estradin valtasivat Genevia Technologies Oy:n edustaja Thomas Liuksiala sekä StemSight Oy:n toimitusjohtaja Laura Koivusalo. Viimeisenä esiintyjänä ääneen pääsi Jyväskylän yliopiston professori Varpu Marjomäki aiheenaan luonnon antiviraaliset aineet. Seminaariosuuden jälkeen järjestettyyn verkostoitumistilaisuuteen jäi myös runsaasti osallistujia nauttimaan sinne tuoduista herkuista sekä tutustumaan paremmin seminaaripuhujiin ja tapahtumaa sponsoroineisiin yrityksiin.
Kuva 3. Kiitossanoja tapahtuman sponsoreille seminaarin lopuksi. Kuvaaja: Emmi Virtanen
Loppusiivoilujen jälkeen hallituslaiset kävivät vielä juhlistamassa äärimmäisen onnistunutta tapahtumaa illallisen merkeissä ennen kotimatkaansa. Väsyneen, mutta onnellisen järjestäjän mieltä lämmitti äärettömän paljon osallistujilta tullut positiivinen palaute, ja tunnelma olikin illallisella mitä mainioin. Tapahtuman perusteella on selvää, että yhdistyksen oli korkea aika tehdä itsensä näkyväksi Tampereella, emmekä olisi onnistuneet siinä puoliksikaan yhtä hyvin ilman Elina Mäntylän ja Biopsi ry:n apua. Tällainen yleisöryntäys yllätti meidät kaikki, mutta samalla se valaa uskoa uusien yliopistokaupunkien valloitukseen tulevaisuudessa. Seuraava seminaarikaupunkimme on toistaiseksi päättämättä, mutta Tampereelle Suomen Solubiologit ry palaa aivan varmasti tulevinakin vuosina. Näin upeaa seminaarikansaa ei voi unohtaa!
