Updates from Use Cases
Last week members of the ELIXIR Human Data Use Case took part in a two day GA4GH Strategic Planning retreat. At this meeting the GA4GH 5 year vision and milestones as well as GA4GH working practices were discussed. Several ELIXIR Nodes were represented. The outcome will see a change in the organisational structure of GA4GH, which will start to be implemented over the next few months. In addition a GA4GH/ELIXIR Beacon workshop was held.
