The final draft of ELIXIR's Long-term sustainability plan is currently available and has been circulated to EXCELERATE WP leaders for review. The Plan sets out the various on-going activities that support the long-term funding and sustainability of ELIXIR, its Nodes and their services. It builds on the recommendations made previously by ELIXIR's "Long-Term Sustainability Working Group". If you wish to comment on the document, please send input to Corinne (corinne.martin@elixir-europe.org) before Wed, 30 January. It will be considered complete and made public on that date.
