4. Helmholtz Open Science Forum on the NFDI: Helmholtz Contributions to FAIRness and Data Quality
21st of January, 2025, 09:30 - 12:00
Helmholtz Open Science Forum on the National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI)
With the National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI), the German federal and state governments are pursuing the goal of systematically making research data resources accessible in accordance with the FAIR principles. Members of Helmholtz Centers are active in a considerable number of NFDI consortia.
On a regular basis, Helmholtz Open Science Office is organising Helmholtz Open Science Forum on the NFDI.
The objective of this event series is to convene a diverse range of stakeholders from Helmholtz who are engaged in NFDI activities, with the aim of fostering a robust and interconnected NFDI network within the Helmholtz community. The programme of the 4th forum in this series, held on the 21st of January, 2025, encompassed a comprehensive range of topics, with a particular emphasis on strategies to enhance the FAIR principles and data quality.
Background
With the National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI), the German federal and state governments are pursuing the goal of systematically making research data resources accessible in accordance with the FAIR principles.
The NFDI is established as a network of discipline-oriented consortia over a period of three years in three successive funding phases. In November 2022, the Joint Science Conference (GWK) decided to fund eight additional NFDI consortia proposed in the third and final round. Together with those selected in the previous two rounds, the National Research Data Infrastructure now has a total of 27 consortia.
