Hub updates
As you will know, the UK last week voted to leave the EU. Given the high-profile nature of this, it is very likely that ELIXIR partners and collaborators will have questions on its possible ramifications. A short public statement is available via the ELIXIR website, clarifying the legal status of ELIXIR and that there will be no direct implications of the decision on the operations of ELIXIR.
We will continue to work closely with national and EU funders to ensure this message is communicated effectively. For any further questions, please direct to andrew.smith@elixir-europe.org.
The ELIXIR Scientific Advisory Board held it's regular teleconference last week and reviewed the Node applications of ELIXIR UK and ELIXIR Greece.
The programme of this year's ECCB - including the ELIXIR Application Track - is now available on the ECCB website. You can still submit a poster to the ELIXIR Poster track at the ECCB. The deadline is 22 July 2016.
