The ELIXIR Cellular and Molecular Research (CMR) programme is organising a hybrid workshop to bring together contributors to ongoing CMR activities and invited participants from across ELIXIR. This lunch-to-lunch workshop will start at 12:30 CEST on Tuesday 21 April with a joint lunch with attendees of the co-located Biodiversity, Food Security and Pathogens (BFSP) workshop and end at 13:30 CEST on Wednesday 22 April 2026. The workshop will focus on reviewing progress across the current CMR work programme, strengthening connections between activities and outputs, and shaping priorities for the 2027–2028 CMR work programme.

The workshop is for:

  • CMR Work Package leads and contributors
  • ELIXIR Community members with an interest in the present and future direction of Cellular and Molecular Research within ELIXIR

Key topics:

  • Updates from ongoing CMR Work Packages and activities
  • Cross-WP linkages and integration within CMR
  • Alignment with ELIXIR Platforms and Communities
  • Priorities and strategic directions for the CMR 2027–2028 work programme

The final agenda for the workshop is TBC.
