Several of the Life Science Research Infrastructures have signed collaboration agreements in order to continue joint efforts to facilitate user access to their services and technologies.
- Euro-BioImaging has signed bilateral collaboration agreements with EU-OPENSCREEN ERIC, Instruct-ERIC (signed 18 Sep 2019 by Susan Daenke (Instruct) and Jan Ellenberg (Coordinator of Euro-BioImaging Preparatory Phases), and ELIXIR to underline the strategic importance of working very closely with those research infrastructures to ensure sustainable, joint service provision to the partly overlapping user community.
- BBMRI, EATRIS and ECRIN – signed Jan 2019 by Erik Steinfelder (BBMRI), Anton Ussi (EATRIS) and Jacques Demotes (ECRIN)
- EMPHASIS, the European Infrastructure for Plant Phenoytyping, is collaborating with ELIXIR, which is dedicated to data sharing and integration. The two ESFRI infrastructures have developed a cooperation strategy identifying common tasks summarised in a meeting report. The development of the common strategy involved the Plant Community of ELIXIR (EXCELERATE WP7) and (essentially) the data WP (WP4) of EMPHASIS and EPPN2020.
- ELIXIR and Instruct-ERIC announced a strategic collaboration with the signing of a joint statement as well as ELIXIR and BBMRI-ERIC.
