New Final Reminder! As mentioned in a separate email to the HoN this week Wednesday, we would like to organise a TC to discuss the EU Declaration to access 1M genomes by 2022. Heads of Nodes only, please respond to this Doodle if you would like to join the TC by Mon, 26 November.

For information

The ELIXIR Platforms have developed draft project plans for each of the Platform tasks in the 2019-23 Programme. We will share the links to these draft plans with the Heads of Nodes on Monday, to invite our Nodes to review and continue developing the planned work, with the aim of having final project plans ready by 25 January. Please expect to receive an e-mail on Mon, 26 November and for any questions please contact Susanna Repo (susanna.repo@elixir-europe.org).
