B3Africa second face-to-face training-BCNet Symposium

The second B3Africa face-to-face training was held in collaboration with the BCNet symposium “From Biobank Infrastructure to Research: How BCNet Member Biobanks and Cohorts Are Contributing to Address Public Health Concerns” in IARC from 27 November to 1 December 2017. The event gathered overall 58 participants (67% women, 33% men). Thirty organizations or/and projects were represented, mainly from Europe (38%) and Africa (55%). Results from the post-event evaluation show a level of satisfaction generally good with regards to the symposium and training workshop. The combination of the symposium, during which participants could open to new research collaborations, and the training workshop, in which tools to facilitate such collaborations were proposed, was appreciated by the audience and generated positive feedbacks.
