Final Reminder! Extension of deadline - Request for nominations for open ExCo position
Heads of Nodes (HoNs) were informed at the Retreat this week and due to limited gender balance in the nominations received for the one open ExCo position in the Compute Platform, we have extended the deadline for nominations until Wednesday, 31 May.
ELIXIR updated its Long-term Sustainability Plan to show the actions to support the sustainability of ELIXIRs activities, particularly ELIXIR Nodes and the services they run.
ISMB/ECCB brings together scientists from computer science, molecular biology, mathematics, statistics and related fields focusing on advanced computational methods for biological problems. This year, ELIXIR will have a track programme focusing on FAIR for Data Infrastructures in collaboration with NIH ODSS.
Outcome of ELIXIR Heads of Nodes Retreat
We would like to thank Heads of Nodes for joining us this week in Prague for the ELIXIR Heads of Nodes Retreat. At the meeting, Heads of Nodes provided feedback on the draft 2024-28 Programme and ELIXIR EHDS and Cancer projects. Were also happy to announce that the emerging Research Data Management Community was formally established as an ELIXIR Community. Further updates were provided on ELIXIR Focus Groups, as well as updates from new and potential future ELIXIR Nodes.
This additional Show and Tell in our series will cover two topics:
Virtual workshop on financial sustainability of ELIXIR services
Financial sustainability is a critical topic, and a key component of this is the sustainability and business models applied by ELIXIR services, especially in light of the principle that data, software and standards are free for users to access.
Physilia Chua joined ELIXIR Hub as a Senior Scientific Officer - Biodiversity. She will be working on ELIXIRs biodiversity-related projects and supporting the planning for the Biodiversity, Food Security and Pathogens theme in the new ELIXIR Scientific Programme.
