Hub updates
ELIXIR plans to have two booths at this year's ECCB/ISMB conference in Prague, 21-25 July 2017. One booth will be used to showcase general ELIXIR information, the second booth for scientific and technical activities. If you are interested in showcasing your ELIXIR activities through this booth please contact us here.
We are also aiming to have an ELIXIR track for one day of the programme where ELIXIR Platform and Use Case leaders would present their activities to the community. We will work through the Platforms and Use Case leaders to arrange this.
Registration is open for the ELIXIR Core Resources for a Data Economy event, taking place in Brussels, 11 May 2017. The event will feature talks from ELIXIR partners and representatives of the European Commission, and panel discussions on the topics of impact and sustainability. Further information here.
