The second training session promoted by the University of Trento as part of the PNRR BBMRI.it project will be held on 31 January and 1 February 2024, in the classrooms of the Department of Pharmacy and Biotechnology (FABIT) of the University of Bologna: “THE NICo NETWORK AT THE SERVICE OF BIOBANKS: methodological and management aspects for the definition of tariffs.”
Over the course of the two days, participants will have the opportunity to discuss issues of fundamental importance for the management of the services offered by the Core Facilities. Topics covered will include:
– principles of analytical accounting and management control underlying the determination of the cost of using infrastructure;
– legal aspects and contractual instruments provided for by the Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe programs for the implementation of the so-called reporting internal invoice and Research Infrastructures actions;
– ethical issues related to the use of infrastructures and management of the issue of state aid regulations;
– practical session where some concrete examples will be brought to the attention of the participants as good practice.
In the near future, the commitment of the NICo network will fuel the growth and work of the biobanks of the BBMRI.it network, providing services for the characterization of biological samples. Next Generation Sequencing, mass spectrometry, advanced imaging and other innovative technological infrastructures will be able to provide omics characterization, in order to expand sample sets accompanied by molecular data. This process will thus contribute to enriching the information value of the biological resources stored in biobanks.
