The project ImageHeadstart addresses the challenges of digital imaging in the fields of microscopy and tomography. Research on digital imaging techniques such as light microscopy and X-ray tomography at the partner institutions has reached a stage from which many practical applications can unfold. The main goal of the project is to help companies in the Austria-Czech Republic cross-border region to translate this knowledge into new applications and technologies. The ImageHeadstart consortium will (1) integrate regional companies into the region’s research structure, (2) bring together research institutions and regional companies, and (3) support research development in optomechanics, imaging, software development, and Industry 4.0. To this end, the consortium will (1) organize regular information workshops, (2) create a system to register for bilateral and multilateral consultations, and (3) publish a newsletter on the consortium’s technical progress.
