Heads of Nodes Retreat

The annual ELIXIR Heads of Nodes Retreat took place this week in Prague, Czech Republic. Amongst others, Heads of Nodes received updates on Horizon Europe, ELIXIR Focus Groups and engaged in discussions regarding the ELIXIR 2024-28 Programme and the implementation of the 1+MG initiative. In addition, the Single Cell Omics and Systems Biology Community White Papers were agreed on by the Heads of Nodes Committee, thereby formalising their official establishment as ELIXIR Communities.

The meetings minutes are now being prepared and will be circulated via the Key Contributors Update once ready.
