WORKSHOP AT THE UNIVERSITY FOR CHILDREN IN VIENNA

The work-package on ELSI and Public Engagement the Austrian node BBMRI.at  participated in July 2016 at Kinderuni –  the annual University for children organised by the University of Vienna – where children aged between 6 and 14 attend courses on diverse topics.
The researchers confronted the children aged between 6 and 10 with the same scenario as they apply in the Citizen-Expert panels; group discussions aiming at investigating the attitudes and fears related to tissue donning and data storage in biobanks. When asked whether they would be willing to give consent  to tissue donation, the children were enthusiastic but also keen to know what happens next. They were especially sensitive to the way personal data related to tissue donation are handled and how are they stored. Read more (in German) at https://bbmriatblog.wordpress.com/

PHILOSOPHY, NATURE AND PURPOSE OF BUSINESS: BBMRI-ERIC is designed to facilitate the joint establishment and operation of research infrastructures of European interest. The ERIC status allows pulling together biobanks and biomolecular resources into a pan-European facility and providing access to collections of partner biobanks and biomolecular resources, their expertise and services on a non-economic basis. BBMRI-ERIC is established for an unlimited period of time. This Newsletter is set up to support this philosophy by informing the community about recent developments, upcoming meetings, relevant publications and vacancies.
