Workshop III: Data Quality in line with BBMRI-ERIC QM Service

_*_This is fully booked*

The quality of data that a biobank provides for scientific purposes, alongside biological samples, is receiving increasing attention within the biobanking community. In response to this development, BBMRI.QM has developed a new service to support biobanks in establishing and demonstrating an organisational framework for data management and data governance that safeguards data quality. This service is integrated into the existing BBMRI.QM structure and follows its established pillars of Knowledge / Training / Auditing & Quality Label / Continuous Improvement.

At the heart of this service is the BBMRI.QM Data Management Maturity Self-Assessment Survey (DMM SAS), a structured self-assessment tool guiding biobanks to determine whether they meet the key organisational requirements for quality of data and data management.

The workshop is a mix of lectures, hands-on exercises, and group discussions. The attendees will gain practical knowledge on how to use the DMM SAS as a self-assessment tool, translate its results into concrete organisational improvement actions, and contribute immediate feedback towards the final refinement of the DMM SAS. For full workshop experience, attendees are expected to bring their own laptop to participate in the hands-on exercises.

Target Audience: This workshop is intended for data and IT managers, quality managers, biobank staff and researchers who are interested in biobank data quality and considering participation in the BBMRI.QM Audit Programme.

Maximum number of participants: 60
