Czech BioImaging offers an open non-discriminatory access to the top technologies (instrumentation and expertise) in the field of biomedical imaging.
CzBI offers 3 different modes of access:
It is an excellence-driven access mode, which is exclusively dependent on the scientific excellence, originality, quality and technical feasibility of an application as evaluated by the respective Czech-BioImaging core facility expert (complex projects can be additionally evaluated externally).
All users are welcome to apply for the CzBI open access. The Czech-BioImaging Access Policy is formulated with accordance to the European Charter for Access to Research Infrastructure. CzBI open access is efficient, supportive, transparent, and open at the point of service for the user. The CzBI user will be granted access to required resources (e.g. access to instrumentation, expertise, training, data software and analysis tools) at all stages of the research project.
CzBI facilities operating in open access are located in Prague, Brno, Olomouc, and Ceske Budejovice.

Or in a short version:
We acknowledge the core facility xy, institution xy supported by the MEYS CR (LM2018129 Czech-BioImaging) and ERDF (No. CZ.02.1.01/0.0/0.0/16_013/0001775).
CzBI also makes up the basis for EuBI ERIC nodes and for that reason the CzBI open access policy is deeply embedded within the international research infrastructure. Cooperation within the EuBI ERIC continually brings foreign users to the facilities and it ultimately connects the Czech scientific community more closely with many scientists from different countries and contexts. CzBI in cooperation with EuBI, continues to further expand and strengthen its cooperation and attraction of foreign scientists.
To submit new proposals and access imaging technologies at any of the EuBI Nodes, the users have to visit the new EuBI Web Portal: https://www.eurobioimaging.eu/about-us/how-to-access.
As the CzBI is a distributed infrastructure, the concrete rules for collaborative and contractual R&D projects are set by the individual CzBI partners. The role of CzBI is to serve as a platform, where the proposals for joint projects emerge, are discussed, and also to promote the Czech imaging facilities among potential commercial partners.
