The ELIXIR Hub is a funded partner in the RI-PATHS (Research Infrastructure imPact Assessment paTHways) project. The project will run until 2020 and is funded by the European Union under Horizon 2020. Working with evaluation experts, the project aims to develop a common methodology for assessing the socio-economic impact of research infrastructure. ELIXIR is one of four case studies, along with ALBA, DESY, and CERN.
ELIXIR would like to welcome Prof. Melissa Haendel (Oregon Health and Science University, USA) and Dr Doreen Ware (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, USA) as new members to the ELIXIR Scientific Advisory Board. The appointments were approved by the ELIXIR Board at the Spring Board meeting in April 2018.

The FAIRPlus proposal, coordinated by ELIXIR, has just passed stage two review and invited into contract negotiations. The project proposal was submitted to the Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI), and will see ELIXIR Nodes and other academic partners supporting EFPIA companies and specific IMI projects in making their data FAIR. The expectation is that the project will begin in late 2018 and a formal news release will be issued closer to the start of the grant.
To showcase ELIXIR's efforts in engaging with industry we are planning to write a report highlighting the involvement of ELIXIR with industrial partners which will be released in the end of 2018. This survey acted as a starting point for the report, the results are available on Google Drive.
