Action required

Within ELIXIR-EXCELERATE WP10 we are currently providing capacity building in the areas of Genome Annotation and Assembly and Data Nodes Network. One part of the WP10 work is to identify future putative areas of capacity building, where specialised support across ELIXIR Nodes is needed. Please answer three questions by 1 June 2017, we will discuss this topic further at the HoN retreat on 13-14 June.
