Following the success of the 2018 ELIXIR Recommended Interoperability Resource (RIR) selection, the ELIXIR Interoperability Platform (EIP) is running the 2019-2020 RIR selection to continue to identify the services that support the FAIRification process in the EIP Reference Framework.
Applications will be accepted between 2 December 2019 and 31 January 2020. Please see details of the call and how to submit on the ELIXIR website.
