For information
At its recent Board meeting in November, the ELIXIR Board approved Greece's application to become a Provisional Member of ELIXIR. Greece aims to become a full member of ELIXIR soon, upon ratification of the ECA by the Greek Parliament. Thank you to those who attended the ELIXIR 5th Anniversary Event in Brussels. We were delighted to have been able to celebrate this occasion with you.
The next edition of the Key Contributors Update will be circulated in January; this edition will include the minutes of the Heads of Nodes meeting from 12 December.
From all of us at ELIXIR we wish you a lovely Christmas and a happy new year!
