ELIXIR-STEERS

ELXIR将欧洲领先的生命科学组织联合起来，管理和保护由公共资助的研究产生的越来越多的数据。它协调、整合和支持其23个节点的生物信息学资源。ELIXIR使学术界和工业界的用户能够获得通过国家节点提供的服务(数据库、软件、培训、标准、计算机)。ELIXIR是ESFRI生命科学数据的里程碑，在该领域发挥着独特的作用，在全球拥有数百万用户，支持其他ESFRI和Horizon Europe研究项目的数字需求。生命科学数据越来越多地保存在国家和机构中心。因此，大规模数据分析要求研究人员能够找到并分析分布在欧洲各地的数据。ELIXIR-STERS的目的是建设大规模、跨境数据分析的能力，并将这一能力嵌入成员国。灵丹妙药通过允许软件和工作流程满足那些在国家中心使用它们的人的需求，直接使欧洲的生命科学家受益。对软件和工作流程提供“可靠、可重复和绿色”的方法将确保科学家能够获得高质量、高能效的分析工具。该项目还将开发软件计分和认可系统，支持改进研究评估框架。此外，ELEXIR-STERS通过满足欧盟委员会和ESFRI关于研究基础设施长期可持续性的建议，为ELEXIR的长期运营提供支持。它将加强灵丹妙药节点的卓越运作；支持灵丹妙药节点的专业和科学工作人员的培训和发展；将灵丹妙药的成员扩大到新的国家，特别是不断扩大的国家；促进国际合作，特别是与拉丁美洲和非洲的合作；并鼓励创新和行业参与。

ELIXIR unites Europe’s leading life science organisations in managing and safeguarding the increasing volume of data being generated by publicly funded research. It coordinates, integrates and sustains bioinformatics resources across its 23 Nodes. ELIXIR enables users in academia and industry to access services (databases, software, training, standards, compute) provided through national Nodes. ELIXIR is the ESFRI Landmark for life science data and plays a unique role in the landscape, with millions of users globally, supporting the digital-needs of other ESFRIs and Horizon Europe research projects. Increasingly, life-science data is held at national and institutional centres. Thus, large-scale data analytics requires that researchers can find and analyse data distributed across Europe. The purpose ofELIXIR-STEERS is to build capacity for large-scale, cross-border data analysis and for this capacity to be embedded across member states. ELIXIR-STEERS directly benefit Europe’s life scientists by allowing software and workflows to meet requirements of those using them in national centres. A ‘robust, reproducible and green’ approach to software and workflow provision will ensure that scientists have access to high quality, energy-efficient analysis tools. The project will also develop the crediting and recognition systems for software, supporting improvements to research assessment frameworks. Further, ELIXIR-STEERS supports ELIXIR’s long-term operations by addressing the recommendations of the European Commission and ESFRI on the long-term sustainability of research infrastructures. Itwill strengthen the operational excellence of ELIXIR’s Nodes; support the training and development of professional and scientific staff in ELIXIR Nodes; expand the membership of ELIXIR to new countries, especially widening countries; enable international collaborations in particular with Latin America and Africa; and stimulate innovation and industry engagement.
