Survey 24
lead: Robert Haase
The survey 2024 was sent out beginning of February and is now closed. We asked 22 questions related to structure, needs and wishes of the community. We plan to use the responses to inform the foundation of the society. The analysis will be done mainly in GitHUB with input from the whole group, and we hope to draw conclusions that will help us to build the society and reflect the community needs.

Training & Education
lead: Christian Tischer
The GloBIAS training and education workgroup organizes and conducts activities to bolster global expertise in bioimage analysis. This group primarily aims to assist professional bioimage analysts in more effectively supporting life scientists with their microscopy data analysis. Current initiatives include establishing a global database of bioimage analysts to aid in organizing regional courses and networking, reviewing existing training materials for bioimage analysis to support the development of future courses, and launching a regular seminar series to help bioimage analysts stay connected and updated on the latest advancements in the field.

Publications
lead: Kota Miura
The primary aim of the workgroup "Publication" is to publish a textbook based on the workshops organised by GloBIAS, to harness the outcome of interactions as public resources. In addition, the workgroup will continuously promote the publication of academic manuscripts related to bioimage analysis, in various forms such as research papers, survey reports, commentaries, and essays. For these publications, output channels may include journals, web articles, and blog posts.

Foundation of the GloBIAS Society
lead: Christa Walther
Beside deciding on the country where we can establish the association, the group will develop the statues and additional governance documents for the society. The structure will be shaped by input from the survey group based on the survey results. Once the association is set up, we will also further develop our business plan.
