The ELIXIR Rare Diseases Community is seeking to identify possible partners at the Node and group levels and has generated a brief survey to gather this information. This survey is open and we ask as many as are
interested to respond by Fri, 17 August. The team will work to collate this input and contact relevant parties in preparing the Rare Disease Community-lead Implementation Study application later this year.
If you have any questions, please contact Gary Saunders (gary.saunders@elixir-europe.org).
