Strategic Partnership: AOAC Europe & EUROLAB
In line with the Cooperation Agreement between the European Section of AOAC and EUROLAB, both organizations are committed to fostering technical excellence and knowledge sharing within the European laboratory community.
As part of this ongoing collaboration, we are pleased to support and promote the initiatives of our partners that drive innovation in our sector. In this context, we invite our members to participate in the upcoming focus group meeting for the “Lab of the Future” project.
Event Announcement: Lab of the Future
European Focus Group Meeting (Online) Date: 26 March 2026
Time: 11:00 – 13:00 CET
The Lab of the Future project is co-funded by the European Union through the Erasmus+ programme and seeks to promote practical training in digital tools for laboratory technicians and students in VET centres across Europe, while accelerating the digital and green transition of the laboratory sector. Among the key project deliverables, there will be 6 training modules and sessions in the five partner countries, shaping a European Qualifications Framework for digital laboratory technicians, drafting digitalisation strategies and creating a European Digitalisation Working Group.
To gather feedback at European level, consortium partners EUROLAB and EfVET are organising an online European focus group meeting, where lab technicians, VET trainers and teachers, as well as formal and non-formal training providers can share their views on the challenges to implement digitalisation practices in their training environment and suggest their recommendations for improvement.
Participants will gain insights in innovative digitalisation practices to possibly replicate in their context, allowing them to explore synergies and partnerships with lab centres and training providers.

As part of the project activities, we are also collecting real-life case studies of digitalisation practices implemented in laboratories and VET centres. If you wish to share your experience and best practices, we kindly ask you to complete the questionnaire here: Digitalisation practices in EU laboratories and VET Centres
