Seven projects with links to ELIXIR feature in the 58 projects funded by the first OSCARS open call. OSCARS is an EU-funded project which aims to bring together leading research infrastructures to strengthen open science in Europe. It runs two open calls with a total budget of €16 million.
The seven funded projects support the development of open science services, along with making data and tools more FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable). Each project receives a lump sum of between €100,000 and €250,000 and will last between 12 and 24 months.
A range of ELIXIR’s expert groups have links to the funded projects, including ELIXIR Nodes, Communities and Platforms, and many of the resources featured are ELIXIR services. The success rate of ELIXIR-related proposals in a competitive call is a reflection of the strength of the networks of expertise coordinated by ELIXIR.
The seven projects are shown below, linked to the OSCARS project summary where available.
- FAIRMD - Disorder to order: streamlining biomolecule simulation re-use with FAIR NMRlipids database
- FAIRFUN4Biodiversity - FAIR AI models for functional annotation of biodiversity genomics resources
- FAIRification of IsoSeq evidence-driven annotation of the biodiversity
- FAIRY - FAIRification of YEASTRACT+ to support yeast-based bioeconomy and health
- LabID-PROV: tracking and sharing data provenance with RO-Crate in lab integrated data
- mTeSS-X: Scaling training portal federation for RIs through multi-tenanting and exchange
- FAIR image analysis across sciences (information will be available on OSCARS project page following contract signing)
