This week highlights
IMPORTANT NOTICE
As of Monday 16 March, most staff at the ELIXIR Hub will be working from home. We will be unable to answer calls to our landline office numbers, but we will remain reachable via email and the usual communication channels.
After careful consideration, we have decided to either postpone or organise via remote participation (VC) all ELIXIR Hub events planned from March through to end of May. We will be in communication with the affected attendees to provide more information. If you have any questions, please contact us at info@elixir-europe.org. We will provide information on events after May as the situation develops.
