Weekly Brief, 19 August 2019

Hub updates

ELIXIR has published a report presenting the different ways in which ELIXIR Nodes support industry, which includes success stories highlighting industry-academia collaboration across ELIXIR. If you would like advice on how to set up connections with industry in your area please contact our ELIXIR Industry Officer Katharina Lauer.

The EC has opened a call for expression of interest in joining an eHealth stakeholder group to provide high-level advice and expertise. It may be of interest to those groups in ELIXIR working at the interface of human research data and eHealth.

Next Monday (26 August) is a public holiday in the UK, so we will be sending the weekly brief email on Tuesday 27 August. If you are contacting members of the Hub please be aware that you may not get a response until Tuesday.

A new publication on the bio.tools registry was released last week in Genome Biology. Read on to find out about the successes of the project, and about their future plans.
