Registration for EXCELERATE Mid Term Review
A reminder that all EXCELERATE Work Package Leaders are expected to attend the ELIXIR EXCELERATE midterm review taking place at the Thon Hotel EU - Rue de la Loi 75, B-1040 Brussels, Belgium, on 10 May 2017. Further details and registration for the meeting can be found here. The preliminary agenda for the meeting can be found here. Please ensure you register ASAP if you plan to attend.

ELIXIR response to ESFRI landmark review
As a 'landmark' infrastructure, ELIXIR has recently submitted a lengthy response to ESFRI on the progress we have made to date. A copy of the submission is available here. It covers many questions and sections relating to impact, operations, funding, governance and user support. Our answers to the questions may be useful for you to use in national roadmap applications, so please recycle text as required.
