Research efficiency: we make infrastructure, bioinformatics resources and processes faster, easier to use, and more integrated

Bioinformatics resource uptake:

we work to increase resource usage and appreciation by users

Research infrastructure sustainability:

we work to increase ELIXIR’s visibility with, and appreciation by, its funders

Skills development:

(i.e. human capital), we upskill resource users and service providers

Equal opportunity:

we raise awareness of diversity and inclusiveness

Policy influence:

we shape policy in the area of Open Science and FAIR

Public awareness: we raise awareness of socio-economic and societal benefits of bioinformatics and Open Science

Benefits derived from working together: (i.e. relationship/social capital), we facilitate knowledge-sharing and cooperation

Scientific legacy: we create and disseminate new knowledge on research infrastructure, bioinformatics resources and related guidelines
