The 7th edition of the Paperless Lab Academy is ready to go

For Isabel Munoz and Roberto Castelnovo, owners of the consultancy firm NL42, the time of the year has come to start planning the next edition of Paperless Lab Academy, the number one European lab informatics event. The choice of the location has been an easy decision thanks to the positive feedback gathered from attendees, visitors and sponsors of the 2018 edition. Easy to reach by train from Germany and Switzerland and by flight to the Milan Malpensa international airport, the Grand Hotel Dino in Baveno has been selected for the second time in a row, as the venue to host #PLA2019.
Everyone get ready then, and…save the date! April 9th and 10th, destination Lake Maggiore – Italy.

While setting the stage of the new edition, the objectives of the event remain the same and are the foundation of the growing international reputation of our congress: free access to attendees coming from companies that own a laboratory, showcase of consolidated and new solution providers, agenda composed of content rich presentations and interactive sponsored workshops, and stimulating networking sessions.

“The laboratory scientific data is at the center of the discussion and we´ll be looking for providing food for thoughts while covering the data life cycle phases.” Says Roberto Castelnovo organizer of the Paperless Lab Academy together with Isabel Munoz.

The electronic data life cycle, a topic that was already at the center of the attention at the Paperless Lab Academy of last year (#PLA2018), will still occupy a central role in the next edition.
Briefly, this article aims at looking at the eData lifecycle itself and at its four major phases, largely known by those who attended last year’s edition, named “eConnect, eManage, eDecide, eArchive”.
