The Meetings will start with a co-organized symposium by COST of 2.5 hours at the European Molecular Imaging Meeting (EMIM). Each work group (WG1-4: CLEM, PHI, Novel CMI Pipelines & Correlation Software) will invite one invited, internationally renowned speaker to talk about the benefits of CMI and his/her research. Additionally, the Chair of the Action will give an introductory talk about COMULIS and the benefits of correlative multimodal imaging. EMIM is the biggest meeting with a focus on (pre)clinical imaging in Europe, and thus represents a great opportunity for COMULIS. The day before the COMULIS Project Session, WG meetings and a concluding CG meeting will take place. This will give us the opportunity to discuss gold standards in CMI and finalize the envisioned repositories and dissemination goals. During the Meetings, future activities and tasks will be discussed and coordinated.

Lucy Collinson, MC substitute member from UK, will inform and disseminate about COMULIS and her relevant research work in correlated multimodal imaging at the Seeing is Believing Conference at EMBL, Heidelberg during Session 1 (Imaging Across Scales). The symposium will bring together the leading developers of imaging methods with cutting edge applications that illustrate how imaging can answer biological questions. The symposium provides many opportunities for presentations, discussions and interactions between students, postdocs, junior as well as senior investigators: https://www.embo-emblsymposia.org/symposia/2019/EES19-09/index.html
