Keynote Panel: Putting our people first: Empowering change and upskilling towards a transformative digital research environment

In an age of rapidly advancing technology, successful adaptation within labs relies on effective change management and comprehensive training programs.

What are the biggest challenges labs face when implementing new technology or procedures, and how can these be managed?
With skills in data science, machine learning, and automation becoming essential, how can we build training programs to ensure their teams remain skilled, resilient and adaptable?
How can labs ensure that training and change management investments translate into increased productivity, higher-quality research, and overall lab improvement?
As technology reshapes lab roles, what do you think makes a successful scientist in 2025, and how might that change in the next 5 years?
