Supporting members       |
As part of the strategic plan, industry service packages are now available in three different categories, involving different service levels and different financial commitment.
Key benefits for supporting Industry members are:
- Access to the restricted members' area of the website (incl. the fields of expertise of all EIBIR members institutions).
- Representation in the Industry Panel, regular meetings and direct exchange with key representatives of EIBIR.
- EIBIR will provide input in the early stages of industrial development to translate new discoveries into industrial innovation.
- Supporting industry members may offer research grants and thus co-operate with fundamental and clinical research institutions on new scientific developments.
- Regular information and update on biomedical imaging research activities in Europe, EIBIR Newsletter, direct communication channels with Europe's leading biomedical imaging researchers.
The new concept will allow EIBIR and its industry partners to identify joint interests and possibilities of cooperation in order to establish a sound, long-standing partnership that is of mutual benefit and serves the European biomedical imaging research landscape.

EIBIR very much hopes to welcome a large number of new industry partners and is confident that the activities of EIBIR as a European network facilitating state-of-the-art research in biomedical imaging across disciplines will be of great benefit to the companies involved. EIBIR looks forward to a successful cooperation in the coming years!
History
Since its establishment in 2006, EIBIR has received support payments from a core group of industry partners in order to facilitate the establishment of ist operational structures and to have some starting capital to initiate projects at research level.
Bayer Schering Pharma, Bracco, GE Healthcare, Philips and Siemens were the founding members of the EIBIR Industry Panel. In the first two years they each contributed €50K to support the establishment of the structures of EIBIR, until during the EIBIR Industry Panel Meeting 2008 it was decided to reduce the annual contribution to €35K per company.
The support has been used wisely and in a profitable way, for setting up the office structure, developing the EIBIR web space and for strategic planning meetings in order to identify synergies of expertise among EIBIR members, as well as to develop a coordinated research plan.
Since 2010, three different Industry Service Packages are available, involving different service levels and different financial commitment (ranging between €1k and €10k). Please click here to read more about the EIBIR Industry Service Packages.
