SUMMARY:Navigating the Future: Legal and IT Challenges\, Risks\, and Opportunities of AI in Biobanking
DESCRIPTION:Navigating the Future: Legal and IT Challenges\, Risks\, and Opportunities of AI in Biobanking –\nELSI Dialogues session\nThe integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into biobanking presents transformative opportunities for research\, diagnostics\, and personalised medicine. However\, this technological evolution also introduces complex legal\, regulatory\, and technical challenges. \nJoin us for an engaging and interactive webinar featuring a dynamic dialogue between two leading experts: Prof. Nikolaus Forgó (University of Vienna\, Austria)\, Professor for IT- and IP Law\, who is also an expert member of the Austrian Data Protection Council and Member of the AI Advisory Board and Prof. Marco Montali (The Free University of Bozen-Bolzano\, Italy)\, Professor in Computer Engineering and awarded by the Italian Association of Artificial Intelligence to the best under 35 Italian researchers in artificial intelligence. \nThis session will address critical regulatory frameworks such as the GDPR and the AI Act\, examining how data protection laws influence the deployment of AI technologies in biobanking\, what the legal responsibilities arising from AI-driven decisions are and how the AI Act is publicly perceived. \nThe webinar will also showcase real-world applications of AI in biobank data analysis and management\, and discuss methods to mitigate bias in AI algorithms and strategies to ensure transparency and explainability in AI-driven insights. \nFurthermore\, our speakers will explore the inherent tension between political\, legal\, and technical considerations when implementing AI at scale\, sharing concrete examples and best practices. \nThis event will foster an open and thought-provoking conversation\, encouraging active participation and deeper insights. \n  \nDon’t miss this opportunity to be part of an interactive and insightful dialogue! \nJoin us on 11 April 2025 at 11:00 CEST.  \nRegister here. \n  \nModerator: \nDr. Ilaria Colussi (BBMRI-ERIC) \nSpeakers:  \nProf. Nikolaus Forgó (University of Vienna\, Austria) \nProf. Marco Montali (Free University of Bozen-Bolzano\, Italy) \n  \nThis webinar is a offered by ELSI Services & Research Department at BBMRI-ERIC.

SUMMARY:BBMRI.QM Newsroom: Proficiency Testing in Liquid Biobanking – A versatile tool for the identification of variations in process and sample quality
DESCRIPTION:BBMRI.QM Newsroom: Proficiency Testing in Liquid Biobanking – A versatile tool for the identification of variations in process and sample quality\nIn the first BBMRI.QM Newsroom of the year\, the focus will be on the „Continuous Improvement“ pillar of the BBMRI.QM services\, which underpins BBMRI-ERIC’s efforts to enhance quality assurance (QA) and quality control (QC) measures in biobanks. This pillar aims to ensure that biobanks provide high-quality materials and data for health research. \nOn 29 April\, Sven Heiling from the Integrated Biobank Jena will present on Proficiency Testing in Liquid Biobanking – A versatile tool for the identification of variations in process and sample quality. Proficiency testing is crucial for identifying variations in process and sample quality\, especially in the pre-analytical phase. This session will highlight how proficiency testing can help biobanks maintain consistency and reliability\, contributing to the continuous improvement of biobanking practices. \nSave the date: 29 April and join us to explore this essential topic in biobanking quality management. \n  \nGuest Speaker: Sven Heiling (Integrated Biobank Jena) \nHost: Stella Antoniou (Quality Manager\, BBMRI-ERIC) \n  \nWhen: 29 April\, 10-11 CEST via Zoom \n  \nRegistration: https://cesnet.zoom.us/meeting/register/FvsEHVOvT2eQfoA6W5lINQ \n  \nAgenda: \n10:00-10:05 Introduction (Stella Antoniou) \n10:05-10:45 Presentation (Sven Heiling) \n10:45-10:55 Q&A (all) \n10:55-11:00 Closing remarks
