How we work

We bring scientists together from 23 countries and 220 research institutes. Our goal is to make life science data easier to find, share, aggregate and analyse.

ELIXIR Nodes

Each country that is a member of ELIXIR has a "Node". A Node is the collection of research institutes that work for ELIXIR in that country. The Node institutes run national services and support local users. The European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI) is also a Node, but is an international organisation rather than a country.
