IMI and process to select ELIXIR participants
We would like to raise your awareness and remind you that the ELIXIR Hub will be coordinating and leading a consortia to respond to the IMI Topic:
FAIRification of IMI and EFPIA data
ELIXIR Hub requests a short one-page proposal from each ELIXIR Node that is interested in partnering on this IMI project by Sunday 23rd April. The process required to review proposals from ELIXIR Nodes to this Call has been outlined.
