For Action
Node priorities in the ELIXIR 2019-23 Programme - survey - DEADLINE TODAY
In preparation for the next ELIXIR Scientific Programme, we ask each Node to fill in a Survey of the Node’s priorities by 3 November 2017.
One response per Node is expected. The survey covers: Platforms, Use Cases (both selected and under consideration) and Node’s interactions with the other BMS RIs.

Updates from Platforms
The Data Platform received a total of 17 Implementation Study proposals in response to the call on the theme of "Integration of Data Resources from ELIXIR Nodes: Increasing the sustainability of the ELIXIR Data Resource landscape".
Taken together they involve 15 of our Nodes and we are grateful for the time and effort spent in preparing and submitting the proposals.
We are now working on assigning the external reviewers to the applications. The review process, including the evaluation committee phase, will extend until February of next year, when you can expect to hear the outcome for your applications.
