For information
The General Report of the ELIXIR SAB teleconference from 26 June is now available on Google Drive. This week we received the outcome of the final review of the ELIXIR-EXCELERATE project. The review is very positive - reflecting on all the hard work and commitment from everyone involved:
"The outcomes of this project represent an important step to connect life science users in academia and industry to open and federated bioinformatics service network within Europe [] the work done by all beneficiaries is huge and has a high impact. ELIXIR has become a fully operational infrastructure supporting basic and translational research and helping with global challenges related to human health, food safety, biodiversity, bio economy and more. This wouldnt happen without hard work, strong collaboration, good organization, responsible leadership and mutual trust. Thus, ELIXIR EXCELERATE project represents without doubt a clear success story."
