New The deadline for submissions to the Data Platform for the third round of ELIXIR Core Data Resource and Deposition Database selection has passed. We are now working on assigning both External and Heads of Nodes reviewers to the applications. We will not need all Heads of Nodes to act as reviewers. However, we do need a Head of Node (or Deputy HoN) from all Nodes for the Consensus Ranking meeting on 20 April 2020. You can find information about the roles - Reviewer, Evaluation, Rapporteur, Participant - in the Heads of Node Reviewer Framework document. This will be a full day meeting and will take place at Schiphol airport. Please register via Eventbrite. Thank you.
We will send out the requests for review to Heads of Node reviewers over the course of the coming week, individually, by email. The deadline for return of reviews will be Wednesday, 4 March 2020.
If you have any questions, please contact Rachel Drysdale (rachel.drysdale@elixir-europe.org).
