ELIXIR Communities bring together experts to develop ELIXIR’s vision, and coordinate its activities, within particular life science domains. They bring together experts both from within ELIXIR and from outside.

Discover ELIXIR Communities
The ELIXIR Communities Handbook tells you what a Community is, who can join, what the benefits are, and how Communities are structured. It also contains links to key documents related to ELIXIR Communities, and explains the responsibilities and benefits of Community membership.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch with the Communities Coordinator, Katharina Heil (katharina.heil [at] elixir-europe.org).
