CROLAB's 20th International Conference on Laboratory Competence took place in Zadar from November 12 to 14, 2025. The conference emphasised the crucial role of laboratories in testing and inspection across the EU. It aimed to foster collaboration among laboratories, regulatory bodies, and neighbouring countries. The event featured lectures, poster presentations, and workshops, attracting over 150 participants. Notable speakers included Andreas Kinzel and Laura Martin from EUROLAB, who presented a strategic approach for the future of EUROLAB.

The conference served as a platform for active participation and knowledge exchange on various topics, including interlaboratory testing, synergies among standards, challenges in implementing artificial intelligence (AI) in laboratories, conformity assessments, and EURAMET metrology research programs. Key round table discussions focused on connecting science, practice, and the market, as well as the role of artificial tools in supporting laboratories.
