AGENDA THEMES

 

Day 1

 

Artificial Intelligence

The technology everyone is talking about…but how can these technologies be used in drug discovery, to enhance industries outside of the life science domain and enable the development of self-driving labs?


 

Operations & Efficiency, Quality & Compliance

Ensuing the lab is well managed, operating effectively, and with assets that are maintained. These sessions will address the use of space, facility assets management, and increasing functionality within the lab.


 

Digital Transformation & Strategy

Discover how unified data and informatics strategies build a AI-ready lab. Explore how AI , robotics, automation, cloud services, ELNs and LIMS are revolutionizing the bench and driving measureable ROI.


 

Sustainability & The Green Lab 

Gain the tools to reduce your carbon footprint and meet net zero targets without compromising scientific excellence.

Day 2

 

Automation & Robotics

Maximising outputs by introducing technologies and reducing human intervention, with topics including digital twins, mobile robots, automated workflows.


 

Data Management

How do we ensure we are getting the most out of our data? These sessions will focus on data standards in practice, FAIRification, platform schedulers and more.


 

Connectivity & IoT

We are breaking down silos by looking at how we collaborate across a singular lab, multinational spaces and even across different companies. Ensuring agile technology and promoting openness are the key areas of focus of these.


 

Lab Infrastructure & Lab Design

From fundamental equipment to strategic site selection and world-class lab design , discover how the physical environment sets the stage for innovation and scalability.

Thema's van de agenda

 

Dag 1

 

Kunstmatige intelligentie

De technologie waar iedereen het over heeft... maar hoe kunnen deze technologieën worden ingezet bij de ontwikkeling van geneesmiddelen, om sectoren buiten de life sciences te versterken en de ontwikkeling van zelfsturende laboratoria mogelijk te maken?


 

Operationele zaken & efficiëntie, kwaliteit & naleving

Zorgen voor een goed beheerd en efficiënt functionerend laboratorium, inclusief het onderhoud van de aanwezige bedrijfsmiddelen. Tijdens deze sessies komen onderwerpen aan bod zoals ruimtegebruik, beheer van facilitaire bedrijfsmiddelen en het vergroten van de functionaliteit binnen het laboratorium.Wie können wir bestehende Systeme und Prozesse digitalisieren? In den Sessions werden Themen rund um ELNs und LIMS behandelt, ebenso wie menschzentrierte Ansätze zur Digitalisierung und die Gewährleistung eines effektiven Change-Managements.


 

Digitale transformatie & strategie

Ontdek hoe geïntegreerde strategieën voor data en informatica de basis leggen voor een AI-klaar laboratorium. Verken hoe AI, robotica, automatisering, clouddiensten, ELN's en LIMS een revolutie teweegbrengen in het laboratoriumwerk en zorgen voor een meetbaar rendement (ROI).


 

Duurzaamheid & Het Groene Lab

Verkrijg de middelen om uw ecologische voetafdruk te verkleinen en netto-nuldoelstellingen te halen, zonder in te leveren op wetenschappelijke excellentie.

Dag 2

 

Automatisering & Robotica

Het maximaliseren van de output door de introductie van technologieën en het verminderen van menselijke tussenkomst, met onderwerpen als digitale tweelingen, mobiele robots en geautomatiseerde workflows.


 

Databeheer

Hoe zorgen we ervoor dat we het maximale uit onze data halen? Deze sessies richten zich op datastandaarden in de praktijk, FAIRificatie, platform-schedulers en meer.


 

Connectiviteit & IoT

We doorbreken silo's door te kijken naar hoe we samenwerken – binnen één enkel laboratorium, over internationale locaties heen en zelfs tussen verschillende bedrijven. Het waarborgen van flexibele technologie en het bevorderen van openheid vormen hierbij de belangrijkste aandachtspunten.


 

Labinfrastructuur en labontwerp

Van basisuitrusting tot strategische locatieselectie en een laboratoriumontwerp van wereldklasse: ontdek hoe de fysieke omgeving de basis legt voor innovatie en schaalbaarheid.
