Coordinate the provision and operation of a standards-compliant container orchestration platform to allow execution of containerised software tools & workflow workloads supporting public and sensitive data across ELIXIR Nodes. To enable containers to be deployed and operated at scale and across cloud systems through the container orchestration platform in standardised formats which will:
Coordinate technical, operational and funding aspects of cloud, data and compute services across
Europe for the ELIXIR and larger Life Science community within a seamless hybrid cloud ecosystem.
Implement a hybrid cloud ecosystem interoperable with key resources that is accessible to
researchers spanning:
The AAI task proposes to diversify the ELIXIR Compute Platform task 1 and the AAI IS 2021-2023 as follows:
The aim of this task is to raise the Quality and Sustainability of research software by producing, promoting, measuring and adopting best practices applied to the software development life cycle. So far, efforts of this group have led to the publications of the four simple recommendations to encourage best practices in research software and the Top 10 metrics for life science software good practices.
The bio.tools registry content is continuously growing as new entries are added by curators and by the community. Currently contains over 20,000 tool annotations. Given the large number of bio.tools entries, the registry needs to ensure that its users can seamlessly search and obtain tools of interest.
OpenEBench is designed to support benchmarking activities in terms of 1) scientific performance of individual tools, workflows and platforms in the context of self-organized communities, and 2)
technical monitoring of the life sciences research software using dedicated metrics and indicators.
Software containers are a key element in the frame of Open Science, Open Data & Open Source which is strongly supported and advocated by ELIXIR. Software containers are key to guarantee data provenance when described as part of scientific workflows and an important element towards results reproducibility.
The agenda and documents of the upcoming ELIXIR Heads of Nodes TC, taking place 9 December were circulated to Heads of Nodes this week. We look forward to speaking to Heads of Nodes in December!
For questions about the meeting or documentation, please contact Joana (joana.wingender@elixir-europe.org).

Over the past few months we have welcomed a number of new members of staff. All these individuals join ELIXIR in newly created roles, reflecting the expanding portfolio of projects and activities that ELIXIR engages with. If you haven't met them yet (virtually or otherwise), here's your chance to find out a little more about them!
