Final Reminder! Extension of deadline - Request for nominations for open ExCo position
Heads of Nodes (HoNs) were informed at the Retreat this week and due to limited gender balance in the nominations received for the one open ExCo position in the Compute Platform, we have extended the deadline for nominations until Wednesday, 31 May.
Detailed instructions, including the link to the Nomination Support Statement form to be used for submitting nominations can be found on the ELIXIR website.
To ensure we have a balanced ExCo group, HoNs are kindly asked to consider gender balance, and by extension all underrepresented groups, as well as opportunities for junior staff when providing nominations.
We invite HoNs to submit nominations to Ivana Ilijai Veri (susanna.repo [at] elixir-europe.org (i)ivana.versic [at] elixir-europe.org) until the closing date of Wednesday, 31 May. No submissions will be considered after this date.

Final Reminder!
Virtual workshop on financial sustainability of ELIXIR services
Financial sustainability is a critical topic, and a key component of this is the sustainability and business models applied by ELIXIR services, especially in light of the principle that data, software and standards are free for users to access.
In order to exchange good practice on this topic, and explore the various challenges and possible solutions to support ELIXIR services, we are organising a virtual workshop on 31 May at 13:30-16:00 (CEST). It is likely that this will be followed by further workshops later in 2023 or into 2024. The draft agenda for the workshop is available on the Google Drive. If you are interested, please register via the link in the agenda.
For any questions about the workshop, please contact Peter Maccallum (peter.maccallum [at] elixir-europe.org (peter.maccallum@eli)andrew.smith [at] elixir-europe.org (xir-europe.org)).
