BioHackrXiv"Bidirectional bridge: GitHub β bio.tools" https://doi.org/10.37044/osf.io/8ktd6_v1
"Here, we describe the tooling for a bidirectional bridge between the software developmentplatform GitHub and the ELIXIR bio.tools registry of life sciences software tools and dataresources. The developed bridge maps and improves metadata records across these twoplatforms, thereby benefiting both and helping make research software more FAIR: findable,accessible, interoperable and reusable" https://osf.io/preprints/biohackrxiv/8ktd6_v1

"BioHackEU25 report: METRICS - Monitoring of KeyPerformance Indicators for ELIXIR Services" https://doi.org/10.37044/osf.io/2jgk4_v1
"As part of the BioHackathon Europe 2025, we report on the activities of the METRICS project, which addresses the need for consistent and transparent evaluation of services across ELIXIR and related initiatives using KPIs. The project brings together experts from multiple ELIXIR Nodes and scientific domains to identify, harmonise, and semantically model KPIs that reflect service quality, usage, sustainability, and impact."

"The ELIXIR Communities framework is made up of a suite of tools and processes that ensure effective community evolution and management, covering how communities are established, led, supported, and can collaborate across ELIXIR and beyond."
"BioHackEU25 Report Project 16: MiCoReCa (Microbiome Community Resource Catalogue) - Towards Centralized Curation And Integration Of Microbiome Bioinformatics Resources" https://doi.org/10.37044/osf.io/jfpsx_v1
"To address this critical gap, the ELIXIR Microbiome Community proposes the development of MiCoReCa (Microbiome Community Resource Catalogue), a comprehensive, dynamic, open-access catalogue of microbiome-related bioinformatics resources (tools, workflows, training, standards, and databases). Leveraging our communityβs expertise, this initiative will utilize standardized ontologies like EDAM and cross-reference established platforms like bio.tools and WorkflowHub to create a centralized, findable inventory." https://index.biohackrxiv.org/2025/12/31/jfpsx.html
multiple group members are already in Athens for the #ELIXIREurope INTOXICOM workshop and will join the EUROTOX (https://www.eurotox2025.com/) meeting next week
