IMPRESS – Interoperable electron Microscopy Platform for advanced RESearch and Services
IMPRESS is an EU-funded scientific project aiming to expand the horizon of TEM – Transmission Electron Microscopy to novel interoperable arrangements via a new generation of instrumentation.
The goal of IMPRESS is to design and deliver TEM instrumentation conceived at the highest level of open standards and interoperability. The architecture of this innovative platform will be based on interchangeable components that can be readily customized by scientists and further adjusted, taking into account the needs of users from different scientific communities. The aim is to make TEMs flexible so they can be adapted to a diversity of multimodal experiments, instead of adapting experiments to TEMs.
The IMPRESS project aims to establish the first open knowledge and innovation hub for TEM: FAIRcube. The hub will manage and share scientific, technological, and operational data in an accessible repository based on FAIR principles and aligned with the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) ecosystem.
FAIRcube will provide a dynamic space to access and exchange information, enabling collaboration between developers, experienced researchers, and newcomers. The FAIRcube approach will drive research and innovation, providing a foundation for IMPRESS to incorporate ideas from scientific communities outside the consortium.
A group of 19 partners comprised of academic and industrial experts in electron microscopy and five of the largest and most important research infrastructures in Europe.
