An ELIXIR HoNs shared folder including meeting materials from HoN meetings, reference documents, slides & graphics archive can be found on google drive.

For information

Thank you to those who took part in the ELIXIR SAB meeting at Hinxton this week. A full report from the meeting will be made available in due course.

The deadline for submissions to the Data Platform for the second round of Core Data Resource selection has passed. We are now working on assigning external reviewers to the applications, and will move on to assigning Heads of Nodes reviewers, next week. We have fewer applications than for the first round, so will not need all Heads of Nodes to act as reviewers. However, we do still need Head of Node (or Deputy HoN) from all nodes for the Consensus Ranking meeting on 9 May 2018. This will be a full day meeting and will take place at Schiphol airport.

WIDENING NODE PARTICIPATION IN IMPLEMENTATION STUDIES

Thank you for applications for resources to participate in Implementation Studies included in 2018 Work Plan. We will now ask the study leads and Platform Exco to provide feedback, after which the Director will prepare a proposal for funding allocation to the next HoN TC taking place 2 March.

Link to ELIXIR Heads of Nodes google drive

We have reorganised the ELIXIR Heads of Node shared google drive (link). The shared drive includes meeting materials from the HoN meetings, reference documents, slides & graphics archive. From now on, we will also include link to the drive in every week's Key Contributors Update.
