Final Reminder! ELIXIR Node involvement in EOSC Association
It was originally planned that ELIXIR would apply to become a member of the EOSC Association during 2021. We have since learned that ELIXIR is unable to become a Member. EMBL, which lends its legal entity to ELIXIR, is already a Member in its own right and the same legal entity cant become a member twice. The topic was discussed with the ELIXIR Board last week, and in order to ensure ELIXIR remains able to engage in and shape discussions taking place within the EOSC Association, even without being a Member, we propose to map the existing institutes in ELIXIR that are already or planning to join the EOSC Association. This way, ahead of meetings, we can ensure that a coordinated position is taken and ELIXIRs voice is still heard in discussions.
Please complete this form in your Nodes to indicate Association membership per relevant individual / institution so we can coordinate positions on nominations to EOSC Working Groups, which will be taking place shortly. We would appreciate the information by Thursday, 6 May.
For comments or questions, please contact Jonathan Tedds (jonathan.tedds@elixir-europe.org).
