The immense undertaking of gathering; curating; storing; archiving; integrating and deploying biomolecular data from disparate sources requires international coordination. ELIXIR; as one of 13 biomedical science research infrastructures that form part of the ESFRI (European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures) process; proposes a shared Europe-wide solution to safeguard the very significant investment that member states have already made and continue to make in generating life sciences data; enabling them to extract maximum value from open access to shared core data. Extensive consultation with data users began in 2009 during the 4-year preparatory phase for ELIXIR funded by the EU Seventh Framework Programme (FP7). Information gathered on data access and user requirements was central in designing ELIXIR as a distributed infrastructure with a central hub located at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) at Hinxton; near Cambridge; UK. The hub will be connected to ELIXIR nodes to be hosted at centres of excellence in universities and institutions across Europe ( ). Figure 2;
