The research in openGTN was performed within a network of 7 R&D institutes spread over Europe. The Medical Image Analysis group (IMAG/e) of the Department of Biomedical Engineering of the Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands, coordinates the project and hosts 3 Early Stage Researchers (ESRs), supported by the highly prestigious and competitive Marie Curie Innovative Training Networks (ITN) fellowship program. The research team is shown below.
