Paperless Lab Academy: 5 years devoted to lab automation
We are celebrating 5 years of a Project. A project intended to get you the best information, the best orientation, and the best networking opportunities. Five years ago, The Paperless Lab Academy Founder Peter Boogaard ( founder at Industrial Lab Automation) lab there was something missing in the lab automation industry in Europe. Executives in laboratory IT, R&D, QC, QA, Management, Manufacturing and Research were immersed in a complex and fast-changing environment and needed an easy way to keep updated about the new lab solutions, meet each other and share experiences. Peter´s domain expertise has been the key factor for building a learning platform for all those considering consolidating, integrating and simplifying scientific data management processes and systems.
One of the major lab automation events in Europe

This platform has been growing from year one until it has become one of the major lab automation events in Europe. From its foundation, the congress has been building on a strong reputation and is acknowledged by thought market leaders, supported by an increasing number of attendees from the industry. Nowadays, the Paperless Lab Academy is organized by three domain experts, independent consultants operating in Europe: founder Peter Boogaard, together with Isabel Muñoz-Willery Ph.D. and Roberto Castelnovo ( founders at NL42 consulting) who joined the project in 2015.
The 3 pillars of our event defined since the beginning remain and are the foundation supporting the event structure:
- A peer to peer networking platform facilitating end-users experiences sharing and discussions.
- A showcase of various informatics tools and methodologies available today through interactive workshops hosted by leading suppliers.
- Access to all industry attendees at “no fee” charge.
