ELIXIR-STEERS
ELIXIR STEERS aims to help life science researchers to access national data sets and conduct large-scale, cross-border analysis of data from across Europe. It will promote good software management practices and support life scientists with their software management needs. It will collect these good practices into a toolkit for green and reproducible software and workflows.
ELIXIR STEERS ensures that ELIXIR continues to operate as a world-class Research Infrastructure (RI), and continues to enable wider participation in computational life science research. It will focus on a new and critical area of scientific need: the provision of software and workflows to life scientists, maximizing productivity in research, and minimizing consequent energy usage. It will:
- Create a toolkit for robust, reproducible, and green software and workflows.
- Enable cross-border data analysis in the life sciences by embedding common practice across the whole European Research Area via the ELIXIR Nodes.
- Partner in Europe and internationally for global competitiveness and sustainability.
In this 3-year EU-funded project, from February 2024 onwards, 36 institutes in 23 countries across Europe collaborate. The project is coordinated by ELIXIR Europe.
Health-RI is participating in this project as host of the national node of ELIXIR (ELIXIR-NL). Colleagues from the teams FAIR, Services, Life Science and International will to contribute to the implementation of research software best practices through ELIXIR Communities, and to strengthening and equipping ELIXIR Nodes and Node staff with key skills and resources in organization, management and training. Health-RI will amongst others provide expertise in Node organization and coordination, community management, data management and training & capacity building.
