Title: European life-science infrastructure for biological information

Summary: The objective of the ELIXIR preparatory phase is to produce a memorandum or memoranda of understanding between organisations (government agencies, research councils, funding bodies and scientific organisations) within the member states, with the purpose of constructing a world class and globally positioned European infrastructure for the management and integration of information in the life sciences.


To achieve this, we will address the following tasks and issues:

  • Define the scope of the infrastructure, its role and benefits;
  • Define an appropriate governance and legal structure;
  • Define a long term funding structure to provide a sustainable infrastructure;
  • Define the requirements for the European Data Centre in the next 5-10 years and makes plans to meet these needs;
  • Involve all relevant stakeholders, including users, data providers, tools providers to ensure that the infrastructure meets their needs;
  • Explore integration and interoperability between core and specialised data resources and the development of standards in newly emerging fields;
  • Define the critical interdisciplinary links that need to be forged between the biological and related scientific disciplines, including medicine, agriculture and the environment;
  • Define the needs of related European industries.
