The second International Biobank Summit was organized in Graz, Austria, September 17, 2013.

The summit provides a forum for idea exchange, discussion and priority setting towards the common goal of developing biobanking for the improvement of human health. This year’s summit built upon two priority areas that emerged from the IBS-I organized in Sweden last year: Biobanks as Bridges between Research and Health Care and Does "Big” Science mean "Big” ELSI? The IBS-II gathered more than 200 participants representing 35 countries and was jointly organized by BioSHaRE.EU, BBMRI-ERIC, P3G, ISBER, BBMRI-LPC and ESBB.
