ELIXIR-CONVERGE, ELIXIRs submission to INFRADEV-3, was submitted on Wednesday, 20 March. We would like to thank everyone for their contribution to the proposal and will keep you up to date with the outcome as this becomes known! ELIXIR has initiated a process to select new Platform ExCos for those positions in ELIXIR Platforms where an ExCo would like to step down at the end of the EXCELERATE project or for Platforms where there currently are only two ExCos.
The selection will be conducted in spring 2019 according to HoN approved process. The Hub will provide more information in due course according to this timeline.

The appointment of additional ExCos will be discussed at an additional Heads of Nodes meeting, taking place 18 June, from 13:00-14:00 (BST) during the 2019 All Hands meeting in Lisbon.
