Hub updates
The European Commission are asking for feedback on the EU's Access and Benefit Sharing (ABS) Regulation, trying to gauge awareness of the compliance measures within the researcher community, and to understand the practical implications of implementing these measures. ELIXIR Nodes are welcome to submit responses directly (survey closes on September 15th 2019).
ELIXIR has published a new 'About ELIXIR' brochure, suitable for introducing ELIXIR to new audiences. You can find the brochure in the ELIXIR Publications section on the website.
Do you have a job to advertise? Post it to the ELIXIR jobs board. You can also add this jobs board to your Node's website, with our widget.
Updates from Platforms
The Dutch Node carried out a study investigating how to provide national e-infrastrutcure services to the ELIXIR compute platform. Their work followed the approach of integrating the Dutch national AAI with the ELIXIR AAI. The outcome of that study has been summarised in a technical report.
Materials from the ELIXIR e-learning workshop in Ljubljana, May 2019, are now available on the ELIXIR-SI e-Learning Platform (EeLP) as open-access course. The materials are also registered in TeSS.
Registration is open for the ELIXIR-EXCELERATE Train-the-Trainer event 29-30 August, Breda, Netherlands. ELIXIR members can apply for an ELIXIR Travel Grant to attend this event (travel application deadline is 29th July).
The ELIXIR Node Inventory of Data Management & Data Stewardship (DM/DS) Course Materials will remain open until September 1. All Nodes that have not filled it in yet are invited to enter information about their DM/DS course materials of both full courses and course modules that are available for use and reuse.
