SUMMARY:Webinar: The role of biobanks in realising the One Health approach
DESCRIPTION:The role of biobanks in realising the One Health approach \nTime: 24.03.26\, 10:00-11:30 via Zoom \nRegister here. \nOne Health aims at sustainably balancing and optimising the health of humans\, animals\, plants and the environment. This integrated perspective is especially important for tackling emerging zoonotic diseases\, antimicrobial resistance\, food safety risks\, environmental pollution and global health security. However\, One Health operates within regulatory frameworks that differ across sectors\, requiring consensus between fragmented governance structures. Operationalising a One Health approach calls for a convergence of legal provisions and regulatory compliance to become effective. \nBiobanking across human and non-human domains could play a key role in enabling the One Health approach by supporting the collection\, storage and sharing of samples and data for surveillance\, research\, and policymaking. At the same time\, it raises ethical\, legal\, and operational challenges that need to be addressed. \nThis webinar will open with a short introduction by Josephine Uldry (Swiss Biobanking)\, outlining the means for the biobanking community to support a One Health approach in research. Prof. Jakob Zinsstag (Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute)\, a pioneer of the One Health concept\, will share insights from his extensive field experience in implementing this approach in diverse contexts and communities\, illustrating how One Health approaches can improve epidemiology and public health policy in practice. Dr Adam Strobeyko (Swiss Biobanking and Global Health Centre\, Geneva Graduate Institute) will discuss the legal dimensions of pandemic prevention\, preparedness\, and response the efforts to integrate One Health into international frameworks and practical implications for biobanks. \nSpeakers: \nJoesephine Uldry \nProf. Jakob Zinsstag \nDr Adam Strobeyko \nModerator: \nMónica Cano Abadía \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Biobanking Development Webinar: Cost recovery model in biobanking
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is dedicated to explaining the cost recovery model that biobanks/biobankers can use to calculate the costs associated with sample and data provision in order to stay sustainable. This model is currently being implemented in two EU projects; namely ISIDORE and CanSERV. \nWithin public biobanks\, there is no universally acknowledged model for charge/fee calculation for sample and/or data provision. The cost of access varies among countries due to labour expenses and is heavily influenced by the nature and complexity of the collection (i.e.\, population-based collection vs. specialised collection of unique samples). Considering this\, a general cost recovery model has been developed for the calculation of cost depending on the complexity of the request. This may entail that some complex requests would require a more precise calculation to determine whether access to clinical samples and associated data could involves additional costs or is less complicated and allows for reduced costs. This cost recovery model is based on the previous guidelines and calculation grid for biobanks published by Clément et al.\, 2014 (Clément et al.\, 2014). \nJoin us on 2 November from 15:00 – 16:00 CET to find out more. Register online. \nModerator: Dr. Saba Abdulghani\, Head of Biobanking Development\, BBMRI-ERIC \nSpeaker: Dr. Łukasz Kozera\, Scientific Programme Manager\, Biobanking Development\, BBMRI-ERIC \nAccess to Detailed Speaker Profiles \nDetailed Agenda: \n– Welcome & Introduction \n– What is a cost-recovery model and how can biobankers use it? \n– Examples from on-going EU projects \n– Q&A

DESCRIPTION:Organoids are defined as three-dimensional (3D) cell culture systems that can be called “mini-organs” as they mimic some of the key multicellular\, anatomical and even functional characteristics of real organs. Organoids are praised as a substitute for animal models in preclinical studies. At the same time\, organoid technology raises issues around informed consent or privacy of donors. \nThis panel discussion features multidisciplinary experts discussing ethical\, regulatory\, and scientific aspects of organoid technology. Following a brief introduction in organoid research\, a special focus will be placed on biobanking from the patient perspective. The panellists will discuss trust\, trustworthiness\, therapeutic misconception\, and the need for regulation. They will also challenge definitions and the consequences of terminology such as ‘donation’ and ‘mini-organ’. \nJoin us on 31 October at 15:00 CEST. Register online. \nModerator: Melanie Goisauf \nSpeakers: Zisis Kozlakidis\, María Berdasco Menéndez\, Signe Mežinska\, and Mike Lensink \nAccess to Detailed Speaker Profiles \n  \nThis webinar is a collaborative effort between the ELSI Services & Research Department and the Stakeholder Forum Patient Pillar of BBMRI-ERIC. \n

SUMMARY:BBMRI-ERIC ELSI Dialogues Webinar: Introduction to the Belgian Biobank Legislation - A Piece of the Puzzle in the Complicated EU Regulatory Landscape
DESCRIPTION:Biobank legislation is not harmonised at the European Union level\, and the Member States have taken considerably divergent approaches in how they regulate the field. Whereas some countries do not have specific regulations\, others have adopted complex biobank laws. \nThis webinar aims to present the unique legal framework for biobanking that is currently in place in Belgium. The Belgian Biobank law was first adopted in 2008\, entered into force in 2018 and underwent an important reform in 2022. Moreover\, the law is complemented by an essential piece of self-regulation\, namely the Compendium on biobanks issued by the Federal Agency on Medicine Products and Health. The interplay with relevant data protection rules will also be the focus of our discussion. \nJoin us on 31 May at 14:00 CEST. Register online. \n\nModerator: Ilaria Colussi  \n\n\nSpeakers: Janos Meszaros\, Teodora Lalova-Spinks\, Introduction by Prof. Isabelle Huys  \n\nThis webinar has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under the project canSERV – providing cutting edge cancer research services across Europe (grant agreement number 101058620). \n

SUMMARY:Webinar: Visualizing the Complexity of Sex Determination
DESCRIPTION:Visualizing the Complexity of Sex Determination\, with Amanda Montañez \nA new installment of the “Sex and Gender in Biomedical Research” webinar series\, will take place on Wednesday\, November 16th\, at 15h (CEST). The title of this webinar is  “Visualizing the Complexity of Sex Determination”. \nThe speaker\, Amanda Montañez\, describes her session as follows: \nAt Scientific American\, we communicate the latest and most important information about science\, health\, technology\, the environment\, and society to the public. We often use information graphics to help illuminate complex ideas that are hard to explain fully through words alone. A few years ago\, as part of a special issue on sex and gender\, I led the development of a graphic on the spectrum of biological sex\, a fascinating topic that I had not seen visualized before and turned out to be even more complex than I had imagined. In this talk I will explain the process of how the graphic was developed\, what I learned\, and how this project fits into my work as a graphics editor at Scientific American. \nRegister here: https://cesnet.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_6lcofwfYRGmDFhOh0LDgoA \nYou can check the graphic here: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/beyond-xx-and-xy-the-extraordinary-complexity-of-sex-determination/ \nPitch Interactive and Amanda Montañez; Source: Research by Amanda Hobbs; Expert review by Amy Wisniewski University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center​ \n

SUMMARY:Ethics of AI in Imaging: Ethical and Societal Implications
DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Melanie Goisauf and Mónica Cano Abadía (BBMRI-ERIC) \nArtificial Intelligence (AI) applications in medicine are hoped to improve healthcare and to advance health equity. While the technology carries the potential to improve health services\, the ethical and societal implications need to be carefully considered to avoid harmful consequences for individuals and groups\, especially for the most vulnerable. It is therefore inevitable to identify what types of ethical issues are raised by AI\, and to analyse how these issues are tackled in biomedical research. This webinar gives an overview of the results of a comprehensive and systematic review of academic literature as well as workshop outcomes. We will problematise approaches such as ‘trustworthy AI’ and ‘explainable AI’ that shape the ethics discourse on AI. The webinar concludes with a reflection on the topics identified that shape the understanding of ‘Ethics of AI’ and the gaps in the discourse.  \nRegister here: https://cesnet.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_u_wq99pSTfm7Ql3PfXdnFQ \nThis webinar is funded within BIG PICTURE\, projects that have received funding from the Innovative Medicines Initiative 2 Joint Undertaking under grant agreement No 945358.

Hinds Professor of History of Science\nDirector\, Gendered Innovations in Science\, Health & Medicine\, Engineering\, and Environment\nStanford University \nHow can we harness the creative power of sex\, gender\, and intersectional analysis for discovery and innovation? This talk will discuss this type of analysis in cells\, animal\, and human research. To match the global reach of science and technology\, Gendered Innovations was developed through a collaboration of over 200 experts from across the United States\, Europe\, Canada\, and Asia. Major funders include the European Commission\, the U.S. National Science Foundation\, and Stanford University. \nFor background\, see the following publications: \n\nAI can be Sexist and Racist—It’s Time to Make it Fair Nature\, 559.7714 (2018)\, 324-326;\nSex and Gender Analysis Improves Science and Engineering Nature\, 575.7781 (2019)\, 137-146;\nGendered Innovations 2: How Inclusive Analysis Contributes to Research and Innovation (Luxembourg: Publications Office of the European Union\, 2020)\, and\nEnsuring that Biomedical AI Benefits Diverse Populations eBioMedicine\, 103358 (2021).\n\nFor late-breaking news on research in this area\, join the Gendered Innovations listserv. \n  \nPart 2) Practical considerations for the operationalization of sex- and gender-sensitive research in biomedicine \nSabine Oertelt-Prigione\nChair of gender in primary and transmural care at the Radboud University in Nijmegen\, the Netherlands\nProfessor of sex- and gender-sensitive medicine at the University of Bielefeld\, Germany \nOnce researchers decide to focus on sex and gender in their work\, the next question is: how do you do it? What do you have to consider and how do you start? In this talk we will explore more in depth how sex and gender are currently operationalized in biomedicine. What should be measured during the experiments and what should be reported in the following scientific publication. Using several examples from different biomedical fields\, we will explore practices and formulate recommendations. \nWatch the recording here. \nFor more about ethical\, legal and societal issues in biomedical research\, visit BBMRI-ERIC ELSI Services & Research.

SUMMARY:Online Workshop Day 2: Participant engagement in longitudinal population studies/cohorts
DESCRIPTION:This webinar takes places over 2 days\, for 2 hours each:\nDay 1: October 12th\, 2021. 14:00-16:00h (CEST)\nDay 2: October 14th\, 2021. 14:00-16:00h (CEST)\nYou are welcome to attend either or both sessions! \n  \nDescription: Retaining several generations of participants in longitudinal cohorts and ensuring that the participants continuously contribute with new data and support data sharing\, is challenging. Participants gradually drop out\, do not respond to data collection requests\, or simply lose interest in the study. Young people\, disadvantaged socio-economic groups\, and ethnic minorities are particularly difficult to retain for a long period of time. \nParticipant engagement aims to maintain the interest of participants in the study and encourage their participation and commitment over its lifetime. European cohorts are gradually developing participant engagement strategies including innovative tools for recruitment and informed consent collection\, data collection and ongoing communication with\, and involvement of\, participants. At this digital workshop\, the strategies of key European cohorts will be presented and discussed\, and experiences exchanged. Work conducted to map participant engagement strategies in European cohorts will also be presented. The workshop is jointly organized by BBMRI-ERIC and Biobank Norway. \n  \nAgenda: \nDay 1. October 12th\, 2021. 14:00-16:00 CET. \n  \nDay 2. October 14th\, 2021. 14:00-16:00 CET. \n\n\n\n14:00 \n \nTopic 4: Returning actionable research results to cohort participants \nSpeaker: Shona Kerr\, VIKING GENES\, UK \nShort Q&A\n\n\n14:25\nTopic 5: Engaging with cohorts of young participants   \nSpeaker: Ana Cristina Santos\, Geração 21\, Portugal \nShort Q&A\n\n\n14:50\nTopic 6: Participant engagement in times of pandemic \nSpeaker:  Robin Flaig\, Clare Dolan and Rachel Edwards\, Generation Scotland\, UK \nShort Q&A\n\n\n15:15\nMapping participant engagement in European cohorts  \nSpeaker: Isabelle Budin-Ljøsne\, Norwegian Institute of Public Health and Biobank Norway\, Norway\n\n\n15:35\nQ&A + Exchange\n\n\n16:00\nClosure\n\n\n\n  \nWebsites of cohorts \nALSPAC: http://www.bristol.ac.uk/alspac/ \nBorn in Bradford: https://borninbradford.nhs.uk/ \nNINFEA: https://www.progettoninfea.it/index_en \nVIKING GENES: https://www.ed.ac.uk/viking \nGeração 21: https://www.geracao21.com/en/ \nGeneration Scotland: https://www.ed.ac.uk/generation-scotland \n\nView the recordings for Day 1 and Day 2.

SUMMARY:Webinar: New ethical appraisal process for Horizon Europe. Key changes and expectations
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Lisa Diependaele (Policy Officer – European Commission) \nFor all activities funded by the EU\, the ethical dimension is an integral part of research from beginning to end\, and ethical compliance is seen as pivotal to achieve real research excellence. Hence\, in addition to the scientific evaluation focusing on the scientific merit\, the quality of the management\, and the potential impact\, the Ethics Appraisal ensures that all research activities carried out under Horizon Europe are conducted in compliance with fundamental ethical principles. \nThis webinar will provide an overview of the Ethics Appraisal process for Horizon Europe\, the ethics issues that are evaluated during this procedure\, and offer general guidance on how to prepare the Ethics-Self-Assessment that has to be included in each application for funding. \n  \nPlease find the recording here. \nDownload a PDF of the presentation here. \n  \nDisclaimer: The ethics issues raised by activities proposed in applications submitted under Horizon Europe Calls and Programs must be assessed individually. The guidance offered during this webinar cannot anticipate any outcome of the ethics appraisal for any specific application. It is quite plausible that proposed activities on very similar topics or involving similar techniques are assessed differently\, in terms of the ethical issues raised\, their seriousness and/or complexity\, and how these ought to be addressed. The general guidance offered during this webinar therefore cannot create any new obligations on the European Commission or its Executive Agencies\, nor can the European Commission or any person acting on their behalf be made responsible for the use made of it.
