Workshop II: Mastering the BBMRI-ERIC Ecosystem: From Infrastructure to Impact

Location:Terrace 2BTrack:Workshops

_*_This is fully booked*

A high-quality IT infrastructure is only as powerful as the team operating it. While BBMRI-ERIC provides the Directory, Negotiator and Federated Platform, their true value is unlocked through expert usage and seamless maintenance. This workshop moves beyond technical components into practical “methods” turning digital tools into meaningful assets for your biobank.

Designed for biobank leaders, staff, and data managers, this interactive workshop focuses on enhancing the findability of samples and cohorts. Participants will gain hands-on insights into the BBMRI-ERIC tool suite and be introduced to new resources such as the Federated Data Quality Framework. We will also highlight how IT support can assist biobanks with Extract-Transform-Load (ETL) processes when preparing data for these tools.

Through lectures, interactive voting, and discussions, we will explore common challenges, share best practices for data integration, and encourage collaboration through real-world examples. Join us to bridge the gap between infrastructure and impact, ensuring your biobank’s assets are visible, accessible, and ready for research.

Maximum number of participants: 60
