Here you will discover the latest technologies, attend inspiring seminars, and engage in conversation with experts looking ahead to the lab of tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Seminars: delving into current themes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The seminar program offers a broad mix of topics that align well with the challenges of modern laboratories. Safety receives significant attention, from biosecurity to ergonomics and mental strain: essential for a future-proof lab. Also <em>AI in the lab <\/em>covers in detail how artificial intelligence accelerates processes, improves data quality, and helps with smart decision-making. Furthermore, speakers delve into developments surrounding <em>personalized medicine<\/em>, advanced analytical techniques and fermentation processes. These sessions provide you with the knowledge to translate new technologies directly into your daily work.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Expert sessions: learning from specialists<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In addition to the seminars, you can attend in-depth expert sessions focusing on current analytical challenges, such as PFAS analysis, microplastics, unknown substances, and chromatography problems. These sessions are ideal if you are looking for concrete solutions and practical examples that you can apply immediately.<\/p>\n<p><strong>X-peditions: interactive learning experiences<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For those who prefer an experiential learning approach, the X-peditions offer a unique opportunity to gain many new insights in a short time. With themes such as safety, sustainability, and sample management, you follow a route through inspiring demos, innovative products, and practical explanations from specialists. This way, you get a complete overview of the most important developments within your field all at once.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Workshops: get started yourself<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Would you prefer to participate actively? Then the practical workshops are definitely worth considering. Think of <em>sustainable innovation in the lab<\/em>, including new ways to clean pipette tips, or a workshop <em>working aseptically in a biosafety cabinet<\/em>. In addition, extra sessions on sustainability are offered, providing you with concrete tools to make your own lab more environmentally friendly. Exhibitors are also hosting various workshops where you can experience their solutions live.<\/p>\n<p><strong>VCCN Minisymposium: Laboratories of the Future<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It <em>VCCN Minisymposium<\/em> forms a valuable addition to the program. The design and layout of modern laboratories are central here. You will learn how to create a future-proof lab that meets the latest requirements regarding safety, workflows, and sustainability.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Whether you come for in-depth knowledge, inspiration, or hands-on learning: the World of Laboratory offers you everything you need to look ahead to the lab of tomorrow.<\/strong> Be surprised by innovations, meet fellow professionals, and take home practical ideas that can be applied immediately in your organization.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"header__button button\" href=\"https:\/\/events.fhi.nl\/wots-2026\/begin?ref=Website\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Register<\/a><\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"featured_media":55672,"template":"","branches":[],"events":[8],"secretariat":[],"categories":[59],"themes_tax":[541,538,509,517,508],"content_types":[503],"class_list":["post-82041","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
