Focus Groups
Focus Groups are informal groups with an interest in a particular topic.
EU projects
ELIXIR both collaborates in and coordinates EU projects.
Innovation and Industry
ELIXIR helps partners in the private sector find and use ELIXIR services, and collaborate with service providers.
Collaborations
ELIXIR collaborates extensively within and beyond Europe, and works with key research infrastructures.
Coordinator groups
The Technical and Training Coordinators give advice to the Platforms and promote collaboration between the Platforms and the Nodes.
