    Description

    The BBMRI-ERIC Directory is a tool that collects and makes available information about biobanks throughout Europe that are willing to share their data and/or samples, and to collaborate with other research groups.

    The Directory is one of the services offered by BBMRI-ERIC Common Services for IT (CS-IT) to the global biobank community and was created in collaboration with the BBMRI National Nodes and partners. The Directory provides a central listing of biobanks and their collections in the BBMRI-ERIC member states. For researchers, the Directory offers a means of finding samples and data, while for biobanks it offers a platform to share the existence of their holdings and services and to connect with researchers interested in them. The next step is the Negotiator, another BBMRI-ERIC service that facilitates the request of samples and data.
