Intro The Belgian ELIXIR Node Collaboration Agreement (CA) calls for the establishment of an Oversight Group to annually review the position of the Node, to identify areas of concern or consider how the Node might develop in the future. The focus is on those services that the Node has included in the Service Delivery Plan (Annex 1) and Commissioned Services specified in the Annex 2 of the CA. This form is an attempt to capture such information and may contribute to further discussions.
