Coming up next:
The new Swedish draft legislation regarding certain research databases – background and reflections
Patrik Magnusson, Director of the Swedish Twin Registry, Karolinska Institutet Ingvar Bergdahl, Director of the Biobank Research Unit, Umeå University
The legal basis for building and upholding research databases in Sweden, for example cohorts with sample collections, has been discussed for years. However, just before Christmas, a suggestion came out for a new law: Lag om vissa forskningsdatabaser (in English: Legislation regarding certain research databases). The suggestion has been circulated for comment, and Biobank Sweden is one of the instances that will respond.
For this webinar, our speakers will present the background to the suggested law, some key aspects and implications, as well as what comments Biobank Sweden plan to submit.
Date: March 15, 2023
Time: 12:00-13:00 (Central European Time)
About: The webinar is free of charge and will be live-streamed.
