Empowering users: orchestrating sensitive data access for interactive federated analysis in virtual research environments

1 January 2025 - 31 December 2026

This study seeks to establish a mechanism for orchestrating secure access to data hosted in EGA, whether in its central instance or any federated nodes, from a Galaxy instance. To guarantee the proper management of sensitive data, data will be encrypted at any time, with decryption occurring solely during analysis within the secure compute backend. The ultimate goal of this study is to generate encrypted data result outputs exclusively accessible to end-users within the Galaxy user interface. 

Advancing structural and functional ontologies of disordered proteins

1 January 2025 - 31 December 2026

This study addresses the limitations of current ontologies in capturing the dynamic nature of disordered protein regions by pursuing several primary objectives.

E-PAN: enhancing pan-genome analysis in plants

1 January 2025 - 31 December 2026

Crop pan-genomics involves sequencing, comparing, and integrating multiple genomes from the same crop species. Exploiting the information encoded in these pan-genomes can facilitate the development of new cultivars that are more resilient to future challenges like increased drought and heat stress.

Leveraging federated learning and RO-Crates for human genomic data analysis and provenance tracking (Fed-A-Crate)

1 January 2025 - 31 December 2026

Federated analysis is transforming genomics research by enabling collaborative analysis of distributed datasets while ensuring data privacy and delivering valuable insights into genetic diseases. ELIXIR is involved in the EUCAIM (European Cancer Image) project and coordinates the European Genomic Data Infrastructure (GDI) project, which aims to provide federated access to over one million whole genome sequences.

ELIXIR People Support

1 July 2024 - 31 December 2026

This project targets the ELIXIR-GOBLET instructor community and trainers, who are typically domain experts in ELIXIR platforms, communities, and services. By providing these experts with the skills and knowledge needed to effectively use ELIXIR’s training resources and services, the project ensures high-quality training design, development, and delivery for the research community.

ELIXIR Node Support

1 July 2024 - 31 December 2026

For ELIXIR Nodes to succeed, they must operate as well-coordinated, professionally managed organisations, delivering high-quality support, expertise, and services that align with both national stakeholders' needs and ELIXIR's broader research priorities. Achieving long-term success in a research infrastructure requires more than just funding; it demands strategic planning, strong communication, community engagement, technological innovation, skilled personnel, adaptability, and

ELIXIR Tools Platform in the ELIXIR Strategic Programme 2024-2028

1 January 2024 - 31 December 2026

The Tools Platform provides services that enable findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reusability of computational tools, including research software, workflows, remote digital services, and trained machine-learning models. These services aim at being optimised for the needs of molecular life sciences, while at the same time they suit a broad range of interdisciplinary applications and scientific communities.

ELIXIR Training Platform in the ELIXIR Strategic Programme 2024-2028

1 January 2024 - 31 December 2026

The ELIXIR Training Platform has built an extensive network that represents a wide range of training resources and services. The aim of this project is not only to manage this network but to evolve it, standardise it and connect all its different components. In doing so, a federated training establishment can be created that effectively caters to the diverse needs of the ELIXIR community.

ELIXIR Interoperability Platform in the ELIXIR Strategic Programme 2024-2028

1 January 2024 - 31 December 2026

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).

ELIXIR Data Platform in the ELIXIR Strategic Programme 2024-2028

1 January 2024 - 31 December 2026

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.
