Node priorities in the ELIXIR 2019-23 Programme - survey
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.
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.
For information
The deadline for applications for Implementation Studies addressing Integration of Data Resources from ELIXIR Nodes: Increasing the sustainability of the ELIXIR Data Resource landscape is approaching. Proposals must be received by 31 October. As all proposals must be accompanied by a Declaration of Support signed by the Head of Node for all participating Nodes, please be alert to requests for this document from your Node over the coming 10 days.
The Data Platform is planning a second round of selection of Core Data Resources. The template for application and supporting documentation will be publicised in mid-November, with applications being taken from 1 December 2017 until 17 January 2018. Please bring this time frame to the attention of any data resource manager in your Node who may be considering submitting an application.
