With a launch event in Brussels on 18 December, ELIXIR celebrated assuming its legal entity and entering its permanent phase after Estonia joined the United Kingdom, Sweden, Switzerland, the Czech Republic and the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in ratifying the Consortium Agreement.
Through creating a sustainable data infrastructure, ELIXIR aims to maximise the impact of medical, environmental and agricultural data. More information on the event as well as presentations and photos are available online.
