The Commissioned Services Contracts for 12 studies scheduled to begin in summer 2018 were well received by the ELIXIR Board, in addition to the contracts intended to broaden Node participation in ongoing Implementation Studies. We are currently following up with the respective Nodes to get the contracts signed.
Upon the conclusion of a successful Board meeting we would like to thank ELIXIR Israel for hosting us!
ELIXIR Platforms and Use Cases are also invited to submit a talk to the ELIXIR Applications Track at ECCB 2018. We have launched a call for abstracts, so everybody in ELIXIR can submit their proposal for the ELIXIR session. However, ELIXIR Platforms and Use Cases are strongly encouraged to coordinate their submissions. The talks can be based on presentations for the ELIXIR All Hands, provided they are targeted to general bioinformatics audience and not specifically to ELIXIR members. More information under the following link and at http://eccb18.org/elixir-applications/.
