Sustainable Biobanking

“Sustainability is [a biobank’s] capacity to remain operative, effective, and competitive over its expected lifetime.”  - OECD Global Science Forum 2017

What BBMRI.nl is doing to improve biobank sustainability

Biobanks are responsible for their own sustainability, but also depend on outside factors that hinder or promote sustainability. BBMRI.nl has been working to both support individual biobanks and to create the right conditions for sustainable biobanking.

Because of this workshop I decided to invest more in sustainable biobanking.
