Last week, ELIXIR celebrated its 10th anniversary in Brussels, Belgium!
ELIXIR was launched on 18 December 2013 following the ratification of the ELIXIR Consortium Agreement by five countries and EMBL. Over this time, ELIXIRs core mission has remained unchanged: to enable researchers to access and analyse life science data by coordinating infrastructure and services across national borders.
