ELIXIR-UK Coordination Office

Lead Research Organisation: Earlham Institute

Department Name: Research Faculty

Abstract

The ELIXIR-UK Coordination Office, based at the Earlham Institute in Norwich, will provide national coordination for the activities of the UK Node of ELIXIR. ELIXIR is a European project to integrate life sciences data across the continent with the aim of facilitating the linking of data worldwide. Each country involved in ELIXIR has its own Node, the UK's Node being ELIXIR-UK. ELIXIR-UK coordinates a wide range of activities across training in bioinformatics, data integration, and provision of tools and data involving 16 UK Universities and Research Institutes and the Coordination Office will be pivotal in their delivery, cross-connectivity and impact.

Technical Summary

The ELIXIR-UK Coordination Office will provide strategic and administrative leadership and support to the UK ELIXIR Node. ELIXIR-UK coordinates a wide range of activities across training in bioinformatics, data integration, and provision of tools and data involving 16 UK Universities and Research Institutes and expects to expand its activities further over time.

Planned Impact

Strong participation in ELIXIR is essential to maintain the long-term reputation and international impact of UK bioinformatics and data infrastructure, and to its credibility and equal standing. The ELIXIR-UK node acts as a single entity to partner with other nodes and the hub to jointly develop and run a cohesive EU digital data infrastructure; to roll out the UK's best and to roll in the ELIXIR's member states' best to the benefit of the UK. This will increase the impact of UK bioinformatics globally by giving it influence in decision-making processes during the development of this infrastructure. By engaging sub-communities within the bioinformatics research community, the Office will have a direct positive impact on the UK research community by bringing these communities together and facilitating the building of new collaborations.

The Coordination Office will support ELIXIR in strengthening links across the national life sciences data infrastructure, working together with the UK community and funders, and allowing it to actively facilitate the transfer of technology, data and expertise between different disciplines, from Europe and beyond. These activities will benefit the UK research community who need to make use of large-scale life sciences data (from genomics to environmental scale data) and UK business involved in making use of such data from the health sciences to agricultural companies. It will do this by providing easier access to the essential data and tools needed for them to carry out their research and development.

Training in quantitative science is a priority for all three research councils and by integrating UK and international efforts in this area ELIXIR-UK plays a strategically important role. The BBSRC/MRC review of vulnerable skills identified statistics and quantitative skills as key needs for maintaining the UK's leading position in science with its consequent impact on economic growth. ELIXIR-UK's training activity focusses on five key areas: structural bioinformatics, clinical genomics, applied genomics (relevant to crop plants and farmed animals), core bioinformatics skills (such as statistics, software development, data curation and standards) and metabolomics; strengthening the UK training landscape to provide a deeper pool of skilled individuals in this critical area.

Description	Since the start of the original grant, the ELIXIR-UK Coordination Office has been providing national coordination for the activities of the UK Node of ELIXIR, including: Signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the ELIXIR-UK Consortium and the Funding Bodies (BBSRC, MRC, NERC, Wellcome Trust) in March 2017. Signing of a Collaboration Agreement with the ELIXIR Hub on 18th May 2017. Expanded the initial ELIXIR-UK Consortium by concluding a Node Consortium Agreement among 5 UK research institutes in 2017, later extended (via an Adherence Agreement) to another 10 institutes in October 2017 and a further 6 in 2019-21, for a total of 21 institutes: https://elixiruknode.org/member-organisations-2/ Developed and administered the Node's Service Delivery Plan (updated annually) and Commissioned Service contracts for each Implementation Study awarded, with the required financial reporting. Supporting the Management Committee, the Steering Committee and the Scientific and Industry Advisory Board of ELIXIR-UK: https://elixiruknode.org/structure/ The ELIXIR-UK Coordination Office has also developed engagement of ELIXIR within the UK community, in particular by: Within ELIXIR the UK Node contributes to four of the five ELIXIR platforms: Training, Interoperability and Standards, Data and Tools. The UK Node has leadership of 1 of 5 ELIXIR Platforms, 3 of the 12 ELIXIR Communities, and 4 of the 13 ELIXIR Focus Groups, with active representation in all. Interoperability Platform ExCo: Prof. Susanna-Assunta Sansone (Oxford) 3D-Bioinfo C: co-Lead Prof. Christine Orengo (UCL) Galaxy C: co-Lead Nicola Soranzo (Earlham Institute) Microbial Biotechnology C: co-Lead Prof. Anil Wipat (Newcastle University) Biocuration FG: Valerie Wood (Cardiff) and Ruth Lovering (UCL) Health Data FG Lead: co-lead Tim Beck (Leicester) Registries FG: co-Lead Nick Juty (Manchester) RDA FG: Steering Committee Member Susanna Assunta-Sansone (Oxford) EOSC FG: co-Chair Susanna Assunta-Sansone (Oxford) The UK Leads on developing the RDMkit, an online guide containing good data management practices applicable to research projects from the beginning to the end which has since been adopted by EVERY Node and EVERY Community within ELIXIR and has been recommended by Horizon Europe & ERC. RDMkit has had 5722 unique users and 37536 views since it launched in April. The UK also co-leads on the FAIR Cookbook, online resource for the Life Sciences with recipes that help you to make and keep data FAIR, with the LU Node, and has contributions from Nodes and pharmas, and is recommended by the IMI new guidance to projects. Developing and Leading on the ELIXIR Training Portal Platform TeSS which has since been adopted by Australian BioCommons strengthening the International Impact of ELIXIR Hosted Events including the annual ELIXIR-UK All Hands Meetings, ELIXIR-UK Hackathons in 2019, 2020 and 2021 and the first UK Health Data Workshop in June 2021. As well as Introduction to Machine Learning using R (September 2021) and Trainer the Trainer (October 2021). Actively maintaining the ELIXIR-UK website, Twitter and LinkedIn accounts to ensure that the activity we are involved in reached the widest possible audience. Creation and support of two new ELIXIR-UK Working Groups in Data Management and Training: https://elixiruknode.org/working-groups/. Which ensures that community leaders in these areas share best practice and coordinate national and international strategy. Annual Call for Services to expand our portfolio. The selected services are integrated into our Service Delivery Plan and added to the list of ELIXIR-vetted Services, providing international recognition. We currently have 27 services with a further 5 Roadmapped. These services span the ELIXIR Platforms for training, interoperability and standards, tools and data: https://elixiruknode.org/node-services/ Success Stories Successful UKRI Innovation Scholars bid: Data Stewards Training Project ELIXIR-UK has partnered with the Software Sustainability Institute to build a Fellowship Programme to support and fund Data Stewards to train researchers in how to manage and share research data in the life sciences. We have recently completed our first round of Fellowship recruitment, selecting a cohort of 9 Fellows Launched a webinar Successful bid to produce the BioFAIR Feasibility Study: We appointed the Technopolis Group to conduct a survey and interviews, and contribute to the report ELIXIR-UK carried out the technical feasibility of the study by reviewing the existing tolls and best practice in other countries. ELIXIR-UK coordinated a community response to the open questionnaire on the needs of of bioscience community This work was carried out from September 2020 - June 2021 The Final Report can be read here: Technopolis BioFAIR Final Report. Following this feasibility study we were asked to work together with UKRI to submit a £30million proposal to the ministry (BEIS) for "BioFAIR; A data commons infrastructure for biological and biomedical sciences, to enhance the sharing, management and reuse of UKRI-supported data". In order to do this we coordinated with the ELIXIR-UK community and created a core writing team from the pool of experts within the Node. The writing team had weekly meetings, which included representatives from UKRI, to work towards the deadline and jointly write the proposal which we submitted in November 2021. Two of our ELIXIR-UK services, PomBase and InterMine, received funding for a new collaboration to develop a PombeMine. This will mean that InterMine can be used to explore and drill down into the data in PomBase, a comprehensive database for the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Newcastle University has recently secured a BBSRC CASE under this call: https://www.pg.co.uk/blogs/bio-researchers-of-the-future/ which will build on existing work coming from an ELIXIR implementation study. FAIR is recommended by the Horizon Europe Programme Guide, and in all EOSC-related official reports; news items.

The proposal will be submitted in early 2022 Software Sustainability Institute (SSI): Partner with us on the UKRI DaSH Innovation Scholars award and in our Carpentry Workshops UK Reproducibility Network (UKRN): has been awarded £4io.5M from the Research England Development Fund. The Oxford's Data Readiness Group, a member of UKRN's Stakeholder Engagement Group, will bring focus on reproducibility through the lens of the FAIR Principles, bringing FAIRsharing and the FAIR Cookbook into this national peer-led Network Tissue Directory and Coordination Centre: Incorporates ELIXIR technology and resources into UK infrastructure and is a bridge to European infrastructures. The UK landscape for Human and Health Data is complex, with national organisations such as Genomics England responsible for genomic data, COG-UK for COVID-19 genomic data and HDR-UK (Health Data Research-UK) for Health Data infrastructure, and alliance of Data Hubs and Trusted Research Environments and NHS Digital. In June 2021 we gathered these stakeholders for a Health Data Workshop 2021, led by Tim Beck (Leicester) who also co-chairs the ELIXIR Health Data Focus Group, and established stronger links with the BBMRI-UK (Tissue Directory) and HDR-UK.

Description	Areas of Impact: In describing our impact we used the impact framework of Martin et al Ann Public Coop Econ.2021;92:497-510 Research efficiency and Bioinformatics resource uptake: To improve research efficiency by improving infrastructure and resource efficiency, ELIXIR-UK is currently involved in 32 Commissioned Services, collaborating with 22 Nodes. In addition, many of the ELIXIR-UK services described in Section 4, as well as projects to which ELIXIR-UK members contribute, are geared to improve research efficiency. For example FAIRsharing, Bioschemas, RO-Crate, RDMkit, FAIR Cookbook, WorkflowHub, FAIRDOM-SEEK, ISA, COPO, Intermine and Galaxy. The Node has run UK hackathons in 2020 and 2021 to bring together UK participants to onboard ELIXIR standards (like Bioschemas), contribute to resources (like RDMkit) and integrate resources towards a common infrastructure. Research dissemination: ELIXIR-UK members regularly publish their work via ELIXIR publication channels including https://f1000research.com/gateways/elixir See Annex 2 for list of Publications. Moreover, we not only register our resources in the ELIXIR registries, but we run three of them (FAIRsharing, TeSS, WorkflowHub); we not only contribute content to disseminate RDM practice, we run the platforms (RDMkit, FAIR Cookbook). Research Infrastructure sustainability: As much of the public funding that goes towards ELIXIR-UK is awarded via short-term, fixed-duration research grants (Implementation Studies), operating permanent infrastructures and services through these remains a major challenge. One objective is for us to ensure our funders are aware of these challenges, and are encouraged to think of fitter-for-purpose models for sustaining life science data resources, giving due consideration to the nature of the infrastructure (i.e. some well intentioned models might work well in some contexts but might not do so for ELIXIR). We advertise that services are ELIXIR selected and support the PIs of resources in their applications to funding agencies. Relationship capital: We organise Node all-hands meetings annually, with 70 attendees on average. More recently this has occurred alongside a major national conference we established, The UK conference on Bioinformatics and computational Biology which had 141 registered attendees in 2020 and 119 in 2021, including representatives from funding agencies and industry. This meeting allows research data engineers, bioinformaticians, data stewards and curators to come together to share best practice and develop national strategy as well as disseminate information to a wider audience of bioscientists. In June 2021 we ran our first UK Health Data Workshop to bring together UK and European ELIXIR stakeholders, with 69 participants. This workshop led to establishing a strong link with HDR-UK, DARE and BBMRI-ERIC in the UK (see section 6). We also run an annual UK Biohackathon as well as enabling participation in the European BioHackathon. Policy influence: The Node regularly responds to parliamentary calls for evidence and contributes to policy reviews. We also have regular meetings with executives at UK research councils and are therefore able to influence research policy via UKRI. Policy highlights in 2021 include: The National Data Strategy consultation The Science and Technology Committee's inquiry, Reproducibility and research integrity evidence available at the UK Parliament website. As we represent such a large consortium of research intensive organisations we are better able to advocate for the importance of FAIR research data as a cornerstone of research integrity and reproducibility. G7 Research Compact which advocates for open research. Carole Goble (joint Head of Node) serves as the UK Expert on the G7 Open Science WG and serves on the sub WGs for Research infrastructure and Research on Research. FAIRsharing has influenced journals' data policies, contributing to the COVID-19 Rapid Peer Review Initiative and its report, strengthening data policies of the journals and publishers participating in the initiative, to make results of COVID-19 articles available for scrutiny and reproducibility. Human capital: By having such a wide community within the UK Node (21 Member organisations) it means we can access key skills, knowledge, and expertise when needed. When working with UKRI recently on a proposal to the ministry (BEIS) for "BioFAIR; A data commons infrastructure for biological and biomedical sciences, to enhance the sharing, management and reuse of UKRI-supported data", we coordinated with our community and created a core writing team from the pool of experts within the Node. Our participation in ELIXIR's platforms, communities and focus groups is an example of leveraging our human capital. To keep the wider community informed on current activities within the Node, which forms a sense of 'belonging', we use a range of devices including a weekly newsletter with News, Events, Funding Opportunities etc, regular mail outs, monthly WG meetings for training and data management, an annual UK biohackathon and workshops and an Annual All-Hands conference - where people get a chance to not only create collaboration with others but also to socialise. We also encourage and fund members to participate in ELIXIR events: e.g. for the 2021 Biohackathon we funded 8 people to attend in person in order to participate in workshops and create project collaborations, and another 20+ attended online. We are notably active in the pooling of RDM knowledge - leading the so-called ELIXIR RDM knowledge ecosystem of RDMkit+FAIRCookbook+FAIRsharing+DSW+registries, and significantly contributing content.

Title	Common Workflow Language
Description	The Common Workflow Language (CWL) is a specification for describing analysis workflows and tools in a way that makes them portable and scalable across a variety of software and hardware environments, from workstations to cluster, cloud, and high performance computing (HPC) environments. CWL is designed to meet the needs of data-intensive science, such as Bioinformatics, Medical Imaging, Astronomy, Physics, and Chemistry. CWL is developed by a multi-vendor working group consisting of organizations and individuals aiming to enable scientists to share data analysis workflows. The CWL project is maintained on Github and follows the Open-Stand.org principles for collaborative open standards development. Legally CWL is a member project of Software Freedom Conservancy and is formally managed by the elected CWL leadership team, however every-day project decisions are made by the CWL community which is open for participation by anyone. We are founding members of CWL; co-developed the specification, develop tools such as the CWL Viewer (View.commonwl.org) and promote the adoption of CWL internationally particularly through our EU projects in the Life Sciences. CWL is based on work we undertook in the Taverna Workflow system, developed in the OMII project and developed since in EU projects.
Type Of Material	Improvements to research infrastructure
Year Produced	2016
Provided To Others?	Yes
Impact	Its the Common Workflow Language adopted extensively by the commerical and and open source sector across disciplines, and in particular adopted by the Life Sciences. It is basis of the European Open Science Cloud Life Science Collaboratory (EOSCLife) and several other ESFRIs.

Title	FAIR Cookbook
Description	The FAIR Cookbook is a collection of birds-eye view recipes on the FAIR components, the infrastructure needed, and a set of applied examples in the Life Sciences, offering a deep dive in technical aspects of FAIR data management. This is a 'live resource', because recipes are added and improved, collaboratively and iteratively, in an open manner. The objective of the FAIR Cookbook is to develop and disseminate guidance and processes needed to make and keep data FAIR in the Life Sciences.
Type Of Material	Improvements to research infrastructure
Year Produced	2021
Provided To Others?	Yes
Impact	The FAIR Cookbook is developed by a thriving community of Life Sciences professionals, in the academia and the industry sectors, including members of the ELIXIR community. Currently funded by the IMI FAIRplus project, a private-public partnership that comprises a coalition of Europe's leading experts in data interoperability, standards, pre-clinical to clinical translation and long-term sustainable data repositories - with decades of experience in making data available to a wide scientific community for reuse. In addition to expanding its content, we will continue to add links to relevant community, mature and complementary resources in the Life Sciences, including but not limited to those part of the ELIXIR ecosystem, such as the RDMkit, FAIRsharing, biotools and TeSS; also the Pistoia Alliance's FAIR Toolkit for Life Science Industry, and more generic resources, such as 'The Turing Way' handbook for reproducible data science, which the FAIR Cookbook already leverages on. Last but not least, the FAIR Cookbook is a community-driven resource that is being populated and improved, iteratively, in an open manner.

Title	RO-Crate
Description	RO-Crate is a community effort to establish a lightweight approach to packaging research data with their metadata. It is based on schema.org annotations in JSON-LD, and aims to make best-practice in formal metadata description accessible and practical for use in a wider variety of situations, from an individual researcher working with a folder of data, to large data-intensive computational research environments. RO-Crate is the marriage of Research Objects with DataCrate. It aims to build on their respective strengths, but also to draw on lessons learned from those projects and similar research data packaging efforts. The RO-Crate effort brings together practitioners from very different backgrounds, and with different motivations and use-cases. Among our core target users are: a) researchers engaged with computation and data-intensive, workflow-driven analysis; b) digital repository managers and infrastructure providers; c) individual researchers looking for a straight-forward tool or how-to guide to "FAIRify" their data; d) data stewards supporting research projects in creating and curating datasets.
Type Of Material	Improvements to research infrastructure
Year Produced	2019
Provided To Others?	Yes
Impact	RO-Crate is now widely recognised as an approach to deliver FAIR Digital Objects in a web-native way. It is used by a range of pan-European infrastructures including ELIXIR and EOSC-Life for life science data and computational workflows, RELIANCE for geo-physical data, social sciences surveys, biodiversity specimen data refinary workflows, cultural heritage projects in Australia and citation mechanisms for the American Geo-Physical Union. It is highlighted in the EOSC-Future roadmap. 50% of the papers of a recently published special issue on canonical workflows in science cited RO-Crate. The WorkflowHub is RO-Crate enabled.

PI Contribution	Cardiff University joined the ELIXIR-UK Node in 2019, by following the online open process. By becoming a member of the UK Node of ELIXIR the partner can access all of the current activities, communities, platforms and is eligible for access to possible future funding opportunities.
Collaborator Contribution	Cardiff University will primarily address the mission of ELIXIR "to build a sustainable European infrastructure for biological information" through the contribution of the LIPID MAPS Gateway to ELIXIR-UK. This collection of databases and resources serve the global lipid research community, with over 1M users per year worldwide. LIPID MAPS was created in the USA in 2003 via an NIH Glue grant that ran till 2013. In July 2016, The Wellcome Trust funded a Biomedical Resources Grant (£1.3M, O'Donnell PI) to further maintain and develop the resource, for 5 yrs, in collaboration with colleagues at Babraham Institute and University of California, San Diego (UCSD). In early 2018, LIPID MAPS moved to the UK, preserving its internationally recognised classification system and curated public open access lipid structure database, the largest in the world. The LIPID MAPS Gateway provides access to lipid nomenclature, databases, tools, protocols, standards, tutorials, meetings, publications, and other resources. Importantly, it has generated the internationally-used LIPID MAPS nomenclature and classification system (the global standard embedded in most journals worldwide).
Impact	Active participation in working groups and relevant communities

Primary Audience	Industry/Business
Results and Impact	Carole Goble gave a talk at to the Interoperability Platform members: FAIRy Stories: The FAIR Data Principles in Theory and in Practice May 2021 Abstract. The "FAIR Guiding Principles for scientific data management and stewardship" [1] launched a global dialogue within research and policy communities and started a journey to wider accessibility and reusability of data and preparedness for automation-readiness (I am one of the armies of authors). Over the past 5 years, FAIR has become a movement, a mantra, and a methodology for scientific research and, increasingly, in the commercial and public sector. FAIR is now part of NIH, the European Commission, and OECD policy. But just figuring out what the FAIR principles really mean and how we implement them has proved more challenging than one might have guessed. To quote the novelist Rick Riordan "Fairness does not mean everyone gets the same. Fairness means everyone gets what they need." As a data infrastructure wrangler, I lead and participate in projects implementing forms of FAIR in pan-national European biomedical Research Infrastructures. We apply web-based industry-led approaches like Schema.org; work with big pharma on specialized FAIRification pipelines for legacy data; promote FAIR by Design methodologies and platforms into the researcher lab; and expand the principles of FAIR beyond data to computational workflows and digital objects. Many use Linked Data approaches. In this talk, I will use some of these projects to shine some light on the FAIR movement. Spoiler alert: Although there are technical issues, the greatest challenges are social. FAIR is a team sport. Knowledge Graphs play a role-not just as consumers of FAIR data but as active contributors. To paraphrase another novelist, "It is a truth universally acknowledged that a Knowledge Graph must be in want of FAIR data."

Results and Impact	ELIXIR All Hands 2021 Workshop \| Tooling up for FAIR: Documenting the FAIRtracks use case in the FAIR Cookbook Phillipe Rocca Serra gave a talk - The FAIR Cookbook: contributing recipes This workshop brings together two resources for data FAIRification through the scenario of developing a FAIR Cookbook recipe for FAIRtracks, documenting the process of FAIRifying genomic tracks (i.e. genome browser datasets). We present practical issues of some generality where ad hoc solutions are prevalent, alongside experiences from other FAIR Cookbook projects regarding the state of FAIR tooling. Finally, we invite audience members invested in FAIR to discuss the idea of implementing a data processing framework with reusable modules (e.g. ontology mapping, batch error correction, model conversion, validation) that allows custom FAIRification pipelines. With this, we aim to attract interest from possible contributors and collaborators.

Geographic Reach	International
Primary Audience	Professional Practitioners
Results and Impact	This was the third iteration of the UK Conference of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (UK-CBCB), organised in conjunction with ELIXIR-UK. The conference was designed to bring together biologists, bioinformaticians, computer scientists, software engineers and data scientists across the life sciences to discuss and present on how to manage biological data and use computational methods to power life science research. The 3-day programme combined a keynote lecture with presentations of use cases from researchers working at the cutting edge, plus breakout discussion groups at the end of each session. The breakout groups were intended for participants to exchange expertise and challenges with one another, in order to develop multidisciplinary solutions to complex problems together. Discussions and themes as a result of these breakout groups were then summarised by the facilitator at the end of each session. To maximise engagement across multiple disciplines we opted for a streamlined programme (no parallel sessions), and short introductory talks to support each session to encourage focus on the theme in question. Research facilitators also headed up each session to reinforce key themes, and encourage or stimulate conversation. The sessions covered: Metagenomics and Microbial Bioinformatics; Bioimaging and Artificial Intelligence; Sex and Gender Bias in Computational Disciplines; Federated Analytics/Learning; Structural Bioinformatics; Open Science and Spatial Transcriptomics. Over 130 delegates registered to attend the conference, the majority from the United Kingdom (~86%) however registrants were also based in the US and Europe, Asia, the Middle East and South Africa. Approximately half of these virtual attendees were Postdoctoral Researchers (52%) while other significant groups comprised PhD Students (19%) and Professor/PIs (11%).

Results and Impact	This was the inaugural UK Conference of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (UK-CBCB), organised in conjunction with ELIXIR -UK. The conference was designed to bring together biologists, bioinformaticians, computer scientists, software engineers and data scientists across the life sciences to share innovations, applications and best practice in their fields. Applicable to bioinformatics researchers working on core services or in research teams as well as computer scientists or bioinformaticians developing tools or maintaining data resources. Converting this to an online format, we reduced the number of presentations, namely by including only invited speakers for this iteration, and ran this as a shorter two-day programme of talks. In contrast to the Single Cell Symposium, we opted here for a nominal registration fee of £10 and this saw our attendance rates from those registered reach 90%. Sessions included: Data Management; Metagenomics and Microbial Genomics; Computational Proteomics and Metabolomics; Bridging Genotype to Phenotype; Structutral Bioinformatics; and Single Cell Genomics. These sessions saw an even spread of attendees with similar numbers across all sessions. Three themes emerged from the conference: Theme 1: FAIR data Theme 2: COVID-19 response Theme 3: AI and Machine Learning Attendees were predominantly national (non-Norwich Research Park) (60%) with some international (~20%) and from academia (88%) with the remainder (12%) from industry.

Geographic Reach	International
Primary Audience	Professional Practitioners
Results and Impact	Structural bioinformatics provides methods and tools to analyse, predict, archive and validate the three-dimensional (3D) structure data of biomacromolecules such as proteins, RNA or DNA. The specific 3D shapes of macromolecules allow them to perform many functions within cells. Understanding their structures is therefore crucial for understanding the interactions and functions of cells, which in turn opens up potential for innovations in biotechnology and drug development. The 3D-BioInfo Community is concerned with improving the ontologies and validation tools for enabling better integration of the data and methods for analysing and predicting protein structures and their complexes. This series of 10 webinars is organised by the ELIXIR 3D-BioInfo Community and will present the five major aims of the community around protein structural annotations, protein complexes, protein ligand interactions, protein nucleic acid interactions and protein engineering. The webinars will also highlight recent developments towards meeting these aims.
