4 and 5 December 2023, BIPM, Sèvres, France

Dear Colleagues,

The JCTLM Members’ and Stakeholders’ Meeting and Workshop on ‘EQA schemes elucidating the clinical suitability of laboratory results’ will be held at the BIPM on Monday 4 and Tuesday 5 December 2023.

The biennial meeting of the Members and Stakeholders will start with a morning session on JCTLM update and report on 4 December and will be followed by a Workshop to explore the relationship between proficiency testing/external quality assurance (EQA) and traceability. A range of experts will describe the current quality of laboratory assays and how EQA schemes can identify where improvement in assays is needed. The theme of this Workshop is how EQA schemes can improve and provide a more helpful assessment of this quality.

The meeting will be held as a hybrid meeting and registration is open.

The workshop is open to all individuals and groups with an interest in traceability and method standardization or harmonization. This includes laboratory medicine specialists, EQA providers, IVD manufacturers, and national metrology institutes. Participants will be able to discuss with peers and experts and access the Workshop presentations.

The registration fees are as follows:

  • for in person participation: 295.00 EUR (including catering for 2 days)
  • for online participation: 75.00 EUR
