ELIXIRHON-2018-24 - Approval of Implementation Study Project Plans - written procedure
HoN should consider if each attached project plan:
- Is ready to be approved as is;
- Needs minor modifications and with these modifications the study can be initiated as indicated in the project plan (please specify required modifications);
- Needs major revisions e.g. re-distribution of funds or addition of new Nodes and would therefore need more time to be refined. Project cannot be initiated as indicated in the project plan.
Please provide your feedback and comments on the document to Susanna Repo (susanna.repo@elixir-europe.org) by Thursday, 14 June 2018.

Ongoing
Recently thirteen Member States (including many ELIXIR countries) signed an EU Declaration on providing access to 1 million human genomes by 2022. ELIXIR is referenced as a key infrastructure in the Declaration itself and whilst the national implementation of this may vary between countries, ELIXIR Nodes should at least expect to be seen as a part of the picture. We would like to build an understanding of what the Declaration means for Nodes, so have generated a brief survey to gather information on its impact.
This survey is open and we would like one reply per Node by Friday, 16 June.
