Highest possible status of ‘lighthouse’ granted by the Research Council of Finland
BioMag Laboratory is part of the Euro-BioImaging: Research Infrastructure for Imaging Technologies in Biological and Biomedical Sciences (EuBI-Fi) on the national research infrastructure roadmap of the Research Council of Finland (RCF), and, as part of the Finnish Biomedical Imaging Node, part of the Euro-Bioimaging ERIC (European Research Infrastructure Consortium), both effective since 2021.
In 2025, the Euro-Bioimaging Finland infrastructure was granted the status of a lighthouse by the RCF. According to RCF, “Lighthouse research infrastructures are infrastructures that stand out from the other research infrastructures on the roadmap” and “lighthouse infrastructures are at the forefront of the national infrastructure roadmap in all key infrastructure areas“.
