How to NFDI

The RDM state initiatives and networks of the northern federal states (Bremen, Hamburg, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Lower Saxony and Schleswig-Holstein) invite you to a joint virtual event: “How to NFDI - Information and exchange on participation in the National Research Data Infrastructure”.

Date: October 6, 2025 , 10:00 – 12:00
Registration: Please register via the event page.

This two-hour format is aimed at representatives of universities and non-university research institutions who are new to the topic of the NFDI, who have just become members of the NFDI Association or who have only been involved in the NFDI to a limited extent to date. We would like to offer a format in which participants can learn more about the opportunities for participation in the NFDI and get in direct contact with NFDI representatives.

Cord Wiljes (NFDI Office) will start with an overview of the NFDI and the opportunities for participation, followed by a presentation of two sections of the NFDI in which cross-cutting topics are dealt with across disciplines and with all interested institutions in Germany: Prof Dr Sonja Schimmler (Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft zur Förderung der angewandten Forschung e. V. / TU Berlin) will present the “Common Infrastructures” section, while Prof Dr Florian Stahl (University of Mannheim) will classify the “Industry Engagement” section. In addition to direct questions on the topics presented, there will also be a joint discussion to talk openly about the opportunities and hurdles of participating in the NFDI.
