ELIXIR Nodes industry engagement survey
To showcase ELIXIR's efforts in engaging with industry we are planning to write a report highlighting the involvement of ELIXIR with industrial partners which will be released in the end of 2018. This survey acted as a starting point for the report, the results are available on Google Drive. Since the survey does not capture all industry engagement in ELIXIR please feel free to contact Kathi (katharina.lauer@elixir-europe.org) if you have further questions or would like to share your success stories of industry engagement.
