Hub updates
Following agreement with the Heads of Nodes committee, ELIXIR will continue its four current Use Cases - Marine Metagenomics, Plant Sciences, Rare Diseases and Human Data - and establish three new ones covering Proteomics, Metabolomics and Galaxy.
In ELIXIR's next Scientific Programme (2019-2023), Use Cases will be referred to as 'Communities'. Communities will function similarly to Use Cases, where activities will be funded through a variety of sources including Hub-funded Commissioned Services, project-based funding from the European Commission and commitments from ELIXIR Nodes.
ELIXIR Heads of Nodes will decide at their next meeting in December whether to establish further communities in new areas, and if so, which ones to establish.
