The Interoperability Platform's mission goes beyond technical and semantic interoperability, responding to changing needs and life sciences standards. Previously, the ELIXIR Interoperability Platform introduced peer-reviewed Recommended Interoperability Resources, established the ELIXIR Knowledge Hub, and fostered recognition of Research Data Management (RDM).
The ELIXIR Data Platform has been successful in creating a vibrant group of people interested in all aspects of life science data, from generation and curation to storage, archiving, use and reuse. It has achieved its first mission and defined a sustainable and well-funded collection of Core Data Resources that represent the gold standard.
The ELIXIR Compute Platform ensures that European cloud, compute, storage and access services fulfil the requirements of and are available for the life-science research community. European regulation on health data processing is evolving, computing capacity in national clouds is increasing and international standards are improving interoperability between the compute environments.
Research Data Management (RDM) is crucial for implementing FAIR and Open Science principles. ELIXIR Platforms and Nodes have invested in RDM, resulting in valuable tools and resources. The RDM Community aims to bring together RDM professionals to coordinate ELIXIR's activities and develop its vision. The short-term objectives include creating a knowledge exchange forum, coordinating the RDM ecosystem, and focusing on RDM training and data brokering.
Single-cell omics has revolutionised the way life science research is conducted. However, the unprecedented opportunities offered by single-cell omics technologies are accompanied by data analysis challenges.
The ELIXIR All Hands meeting is an annual event that brings together members of the ELIXIR community. The goal of the event is to review ELIXIR’s achievements and activities so far, and discuss plans for the future.
It includes:
The meeting is for ELIXIR members and invited guests only.
A European Network of TRUSTed research environments
QUANTUM is a Horizon Europe Coordination and Support Action (CSA) project in the context of the European Health Data Space.
The European Viral Outbreak Research Alliance (EVORA) project brings together three RIs (EVA, ERINHA-ESFRI and ELIXIR-ESFRI) with unique and complementary expertise in bio-banking, high containment facilities and data management solutions, respectively, under a single concerted interoperable framework with a common and long-term perspective.
The EU-funded ELIXIR-STEERS project, a three-year initiative with a budget of €4M, is a collaboration between all ELIXIR Nodes, encompassing 36 institutes across 23 countries, plus EMBL-EBI. It aims to enhance large-scale, cross-border federated analysis in the life sciences throughout the European Research Area.
