The European Bioinformatics Institute said this week that Greece has agreed to participate in the European Life-science Infrastructure for Biological Information, or ELIXIR, project.
According to the EBI, Greece has signed the ELIXIR memorandum of understanding, which formally commits signatories to support the development of the bioinformatics infrastructure.
Signing the MOU also gives Greece a delegate on the ELIXIR Interim Board, which is the main body negotiating the final legal and governance structure of the pan-European project.
Other existing ELIXIR contributors include Portugal, Italy, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Israel, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the UK, and the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (BI 11/30/2012).
