Commissioned Services and Capacity Building and Knowledge Exchange programme
ELIXIR funds activities that connect and integrate services across ELIXIR Nodes. These projects are led by experts from specific Platforms or Communities, leveraging national strengths and facilitating collaboration and integration across ELIXIR Nodes.
There are two types of ELIXIR-funded activities:
- Commissioned Services (also known as Internal projects)
- Capacity Building and Knowledge Exchange programme
Commissioned Services
Commissioned Services are projects funded through ELIXIR's own budget. They’re projects that:
-
Develop and connect ELIXIR services
-
Support collaboration between ELIXIR Platforms and Communities
-
Drive work in areas that are strategically important to ELIXIR
The current Commissioned Services projects align with ELIXIR's 2024–28 Scientific Programme priorities: Science, Technology, People and Nodes. Click on the links below to discover more about the Commissioned Services projects for each priority.
