Final Reminder! Request for Nodes to indicate priorities for resources in ELIXIR 2019-23 Programme by today.
On Tue, 19 June 2018 Niklas sent a request to the HoNs to consider the activities in the 2019-23 ELIXIR Programme and indicate ELIXIR Nodes priorities for resourcing and participation in the Programme.

MEGA White Paper
Thank you to all Nodes that completed the recent survey on how ELIXIR Nodes view the Declaration on providing access to 1 million human genomes by 2022. From the information gathered in these responses, and in collaboration with other European infrastructures, we have generated a draft white paper on how we can interact with this Declaration. This white paper will be shared with the Commission and be published in a high-profile journal.
The draft document is open for comments and suggestions. Please add your edits by Fri, 27 July before the paper will be considered final. Any questions can be directed to Gary Saunders (gary.saunders@elixir-europe.org).

ELIXIR and EMPHASIS collaboration
ELIXIR and EMPHASIS held a joint meeting in May. The meeting report, which will be published on both websites, is available on Google Drive. The intension is to use this report as the basis for a Collaboration Strategy and a joint publication between the two infrastructures. Heads of Nodes are asked to note these developments and inform John Hancock (john.hancock@elixir-europe.org) if you have any comments on this development. Once the draft Collaboration Strategy is developed, it will be shared with HoN for review.
