Outcome of ELIXIR Heads of Nodes Retreat

We would like to thank Heads of Nodes for joining us this week in Prague for the ELIXIR Heads of Nodes Retreat. At the meeting, Heads of Nodes provided feedback on the draft 2024-28 Programme and ELIXIR EHDS and Cancer projects. Were also happy to announce that the emerging Research Data Management Community was formally established as an ELIXIR Community. Further updates were provided on ELIXIR Focus Groups, as well as updates from new and potential future ELIXIR Nodes.

For any questions about the meeting, please contact Joana Wingender (peter.maccallum [at] elixir-europe.org (joana.wingender@eli)andrew.smith [at] elixir-europe.org (xir-europe.org)).

Extension of deadline - Request for nominations for open ExCo position

Heads of Nodes (HoNs) were informed at the Retreat this week and due to limited gender balance in the nominations received for the one open ExCo position in the Compute Platform, we have extended the deadline for nominations until Wednesday, 31 May.

Detailed instructions, including the link to the Nomination Support Statement form to be used for submitting nominations can be found on the ELIXIR website.

To ensure we have a balanced ExCo group, HoNs are kindly asked to consider gender balance, and by extension all underrepresented groups, as well as opportunities for junior staff when providing nominations.

We invite HoNs to submit nominations to Ivana Ilijai Veri (susanna.repo [at] elixir-europe.org (i)ivana.versic [at] elixir-europe.org) until the closing date of Wednesday, 31 May. No submissions will be considered after this date.
