Ongoing Final Reminder! Heads of Nodes are reminded that the invitation for nominations for ELIXIR Platform ExCo positions is still open and will close on Sun, 15 September.
Nominations can be submitted to Jerry (jerry.lanfear@elixir-europe.org) until the closing date. Final Reminder! We are inviting suggestions for Keynote speakers at the ELIXIR All Hands meeting. Potential speakers should be recognised experts in a scientific field relevant to ELIXIR. Suggestions for speakers will be considered for the 2020 meeting in Amsterdam and for subsequent years.
Please send your ideas to Jerry (jerry.lanfear@elixir-europe.org) by Fri, 20 September. Final Reminder! With EXCELERATE ending, we will no longer have monthly WPL TCs. The need to share updates with Platform and Community leads remains and therefore, the proposal is to continue with the monthly two-hour TCs (First Thursday of the month, 13:00-15:00 UK time, starting from 3 October).
Please find the proposal for these calls on Google Drive. We look forward to your comments by Fri, 19 September.
