Report from ELIXIR SAB summer TC
The general report issued by the ELIXIR SAB following its summer teleconference is now available here.
Horizon 2020 planning
The ELIXIR Hub has been collating the draft 2018-2020 Work Programmes for various themes in Horizon 2020. They are available in a HoN Google Drive folder here along with the slides from the H2020 planning session at the HoN retreat last month. Over the summer we will prepare and then share a H2020 Planning Document with you, summarising the topics that are likely to be of interest, including an indication of which Platform and Use Case they may be of interest to. This will form the basis for a discussion on individual topics at the Sept HoN meeting in Basel. After that, the Planning Document will be finalised and turned into a report. Please note that at present the draft Work Programmes have not been finalised, and hence may still change further before the Calls start opening at the end of the year. Please do not share the drafts outside your Node.
