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:Access and benefit-sharing of Genetic Resources: the Nagoya Protocol applied to biobanks
DESCRIPTION:Access and benefit-sharing of Genetic Resources: the Nagoya Protocol applied to biobanks\nThe fair and equitable sharing of benefits from genetic resources—known as Access and Benefit-Sharing (ABS)—is a key principle in global research and innovation. Governed by the Nagoya Protocol\, this international framework ensures compliance and fair use of genetic material\, with 141 countries on board since its enforcement in 2014. \nFor researchers\, biobanks\, and institutions\, navigating national ABS regulations can be complex\, impacting how biological materials are accessed and exchanged. Clear guidelines are essential to streamline compliance while enabling scientific progress. \nJoin us for an insightful webinar\, where Melania Muñoz (Leibniz Institute DSMZ) will break down the Nagoya Protocol and its impact on biobanks. Josephine Uldry (Swiss Biobanking Platform) will explore the Swiss regulatory landscape\, while Dr. Christian de Guttry (Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics) will share real-world insights of the Nagoya protocol application from Swiss and pan-European research projects. \nDon’t miss this opportunity to gain practical knowledge\, expert perspectives\, and actionable strategies to navigate ABS with confidence! \nJoin us on 24 February 2025 at 10:00 CEST. \nRegister online: https://cesnet.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_3Tkkwf7US0OJlkibAwGEyg \nModerator: \nIlaria Colussi (BBMRI-ERIC) \nSpeakers:  \nMelania Muñoz (Leibniz Institute DSMZ) \nJosephine Uldry (Swiss Biobanking Platform) \nChristian de Guttry (Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics) \n  \nThis webinar is a offered by the ELSI Services & Research Department at BBMRI-ERIC.
