Hub updates
Latest round of Horizon 2020 Calls
The latest round of Horizon Calls are opening. There are many topics that are likely to be of interest to ELIXIR Nodes, particularly through the Health', Food, Agriculture, Fisheries and Biotechnology and 'Research Infrastructures themes. The Hub will be preparing a full list of suggested topics and will circulate in the coming weeks. In the meantime, for any questions please contact Andy (andrew.smith@elixir-europe.org).
Updates from Platforms
The ELIXIR Interoperability Platform will be hosting a new type of event, called "Ask Us Anything. The aim is to give the whole ELIXIR Community the chance to hear the latest Interoperability developments and to ask any questions you may have of the Platform. It will take place at 12:00 BST (13:00 CEST) on Wednesday July 31st. You can access the conversation via this GOTO link.
Still free seats available for the de.NBI - CeBiTec Nanopore Best Practice Workshop 2019, in Bielefeld (25-27 September).
Registrations are open for the SIB course on Good practice in high-throughput experiments, in Zurich from 30 Sep - 01 Oct 2019.
Updates from Nodes
The FAIRsFAIR project started to work on practical solutions for the use of the FAIR data principles throughout the research data life cycle. Emphasis lies on fostering FAIR data culture and the uptake of good practices in making data FAIR. Supporting repositories to make a step towards the new data era, FAIRsFAIR launched an open call for data repositories with aim to help them on the way of 1) becoming certified according to the Core Trust Seal and 2) increasing their interoperability.
