This week's highlights

Discover the power of the COVID-19 Data Portal

Read the new factsheet

We have recently created an illustrative factsheet to present the work and ambitions of the COVID-19 Data Portal to the European Commission.

The factsheet aims to offer an impactful visual aid to achieve further funding and fulfil the ambitions of the Portal.

ELIXIR is heavily involved in this project, alongside EMBL-EBI, with the support of the EC through several grants including ELIXIR-CONVERGE, EOSC-Life, VEO and ReCoDID
