The outcome of these symposia are used to draft recommendations and legal instruments, which aim to provide stakeholders and decision makers in the field with a course of action, contribute to optimal use of resources and ultimately to achieve a higher degree of self-sufficiency.

Both programmes have been co-funded by the European Commission and the EDQM since 2010.<\/p><p>The external assessment of the testing capability of European BEs also continued in 2023. Seven B\u2011PTS studies were organised, with an average of 71 laboratories participating in each. The calculation of the average number of participants does not take into account the pilot study for bacterial testing of platelet components, for which the number of participants was limited on purpose. A new type of study was developed, for the bacterial testing of platelet components, and the pilot study was successfully rolled out in 2023.<\/p><p>In 2023, the B-QM Programme was run fully on-site. Eight assessment schemes were performed, some of them follow-up schemes in BEs which had benefited from virtual schemes in the previous two years.<\/p><p>A virtual training programme on Quality management review and key performance indicators in BEs was organised in October and November 2023; it ran over a period of five weeks. The number of participants was limited to 100 to facilitate discussions with the trainers. Weekly supporting materials and exercises were distributed to participants. The programme concluded with a three-day live session during which practical examples and case studies were discussed in an interactive format.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section
