In memoriam, James Taylor

On the 2nd of April, we received the sad news that we had lost James Taylor, co-founder of Galaxy. At ELIXIR, we appreciate and recognise the full worth of the effort he put into the Galaxy project.

Frederik Coppens, Head of Node in Belgium, wrote a beautiful eulogy to his colleague to remember James Taylor's commitment, work ethic and success, both as a professional and as a friend.

The project will see ELIXIR Nodes work with Member States and other partners to implement a plan for the Declaration on Access to a Million Genomes.

Important Notice

The ELIXIR Hub has decided to cancel the 2020 All Hands meeting. We hope this decision will allow the ELIXIR community to focus on managing the challenging situation we are all in. Even if we do not meet in person in Amsterdam, please keep the dates 8-11 June 2020 free in your calendar. We are looking into options hosting a virtual event and will communicate the details of this in the coming weeks.
