BSRC A. Fleming participates in a new three-year collaborative H2020 project of €5 million budget, ELIXIR-CONVERGE, working on some of the major challenges in data access, provisioning and distribution.
Together with two other partners from ELIXIR-Greece, BSRC A. Fleming participates in a new €5 million three-year H2020 project ELIXIR-CONVERGE, bringing together experts from all 23 ELIXIR Nodes, representing 29 research institutes and 22 countries across Europe to work collaboratively on some of the major challenges in data access, provisioning and distribution. The development of a data management toolkit will sit at the core of the project, providing researchers with a strategy to manage their data to international standards.
The toolkit will be tested across multiple domains and data types against ‘Demonstrator Projects’ that cover:
- Plant genotype and phenotype
- Epitranscriptomics
- Marine metagenomics
- Human genomics
- Toxicology
- Biomolecular simulation
Fleming participates in the Human Genomics Demonstrator. The project kicked off in Brussels last week.
