Visit day four of the Europe Biobank Week Congress in this mini-series covering the event - part of the BBMRI-ERIC Podcast. 

During these episodes, you’ll experience the congress as it happens in Bologna, Italy from 13-16 May 2025. You’ll get a flavour of the event from interviews with organisers, speakers and delegates. If you missed day three, find it at Europe-biobank-week-dot-eu.

EBW is a yearly congress jointly organised between BBMRI-ERIC and ESBB. It unites over 800 biobankers, researchers, industry specialists and decision makers for keynotes, workshops, industry talks and parallel sessions over four days.

This final episode, recorded on 16 May, is when congress winds down but the pace is no slower with a vibrant Ethics Café, a set of parallel sessions and the closing ceremony.
