B3Africa AGM and Workshop at the Uppsala Health Summit, Sweden, June 2018

The third B3Africa AGM took place in Uppsala, Sweden, from 11th to 13th June 2018. During this meeting, hosted by SLU, B3Africa partners reflected on progress and achievements made over the three years of the project and discussed about the sustainability of the eB3Kit.

The B3Africa AGM was organised just before the Uppsala Health Summit, so B3Africa partners and stakeholders could benefit from both events.

In the frame of the Uppsala Health Summit in Sweden last June, B3Africa partner organized a workshop entitled “Biobanking for Global Cancer Care”.

This workshop drew upon the results from the B3Africa project, and developed basic guidelines for a sustainable implementation of biobank infrastructures in all parts of the world, including issues such as ownership, access and sustainable management.
