Helmholtz in the NFDI
Numerous consortia of the National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI) are realized with substantial Helmholtz participation.
With the National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI), the federal and state governments of Germany are pursuing the goal of systematically making research data resources available to the German science system in accordance with FAIR principles. The NFDI is being established as a network of disciplinary consortia over a period of three years in three successive funding phases. Coverage of cross-disciplinary topics is also a key focus of the NFDI.
