Photons, Electrons, and Sausages – User Meeting and BBQ 2026

  • Date & Time: 25. 6. 2026  |  16:00
  • Location: IMG, Vídeňská 1083

We warmly invite you to join us for an afternoon and evening in an unusual setting, away from the dark microscopy rooms. The event will offer discussions not only about microscopy, but also entertainment, good food, and refreshing drinks. Together, we will celebrate another successful year of collaboration and perhaps recharge for the year ahead. The event is hosted by the Institute of Molecular Genetics of the Czech Academy of Sciences (IMG).


The beginning of summer is traditionally associated with an informal gathering of staff, users, industry partners, colleagues, friends, and supporters of Prague microscopy facilities united within the Czech-BioImaging infrastructure and the Prague Node of Euro-BioImaging ERIC:

What to expect

  • Delicious barbecue and refreshing drinks
  • Fun microscopy-themed activities
  • Announcement of the Picture of the Year award, featuring stunning images produced at our core facilities
