Agro-Ecological Transition Proposal - Progress Update
We would like to inform you of an update on ELIXIR's contribution to the topic HORIZON-INFRA-2021-SERV-01-03: Research Infrastructures services for a sustainable and resilient agriculture and agro-ecological transitions (the published call text is available on the ec.europa.eu website).
As the proposal takes shape ELIXIR has been invited to (co-)lead the data WP, the exact focus is still being defined. Cyril Pommier (ELIXIR Plant Community co-lead), Frederik Coppens (ELIXIR Belgium HoN) and Katharina Heil (ELIXIR Hub), will take on this task from ELIXIRs side.
Thank you also to everyone who submitted services to be considered. The coming weeks should shape the proposal further and it can then be decided which services to include. We will reach out to everyone who showed interest in the coming weeks.
Thank you for your interest and dont hesitate to contact Katharina Heil (katharina.heil@elixir-europe.org) in case of questions.
EU funding topic list
The Hub has prepared a guidance document listing possible EU funding calls that could be in scope for ELIXIR Nodes (currently Horizon Europe and EU4Health). Please share this information only within your Node and reach out to Andy Smith (andrew.smith@elixir-europe.org) if you have questions or would like to discuss topics.
Please note that not all Work Programmes have been published yet, so this document will be updated periodically and re-shared over the coming months, for example, when the Digital Europe Work Programme is published.
Call for Members of EOSC Association Task Forces
The call for Members of the European Open Science Cloud Association Task Forces is now open until Friday, 30 July 2021. These Task Forces will work on a range of topics of direct relevance to ELIXIR activities and many of our members will want to participate. ELIXIR will not be directly coordinating applications to join, but we would encourage ELIXIR members who do so to also sign up for the ELIXIR EOSC Focus Group where we will keep track of our activities and strategy development around this important programme.
For more information please contact Jonathan Tedds (jonathan.tedds@elixir-europe.org).
