Hub updates
The next ELIXIR webinar takes place this week on Wednesday 20 June at 15.00 CEST. It will present Wikidata, an open, semantic web-compatible database that anyone, humans and machines alike, can edit, and the Gene wiki project that is using Wikidata.
We are planning to write a report highlighting how ELIXIR Nodes engage with industrial partners, which we hope will inspire future collaboration by showcasing success stories. If you would like to present your Node in this report, please fill in the survey. There is no need to complete again if you already did for the All Hands industry workshop. For any additional questions or if you want to share your industry engagement success stories, contact Katharina Lauer at katharina.lauer@elixir-europe.org.
