NFDI - German National Research Data Infrastructure

The Federal Government and the states are providing up to EUR 90 million a year in funding for the development of the German National Research Data Infrastructure. Their aims are to make systematic, sustainable improvements that will facilitate access to research data, to catalogue data that until now was mostly stored in decentralised repositories, and to make it permanently available to more users. With this, they are supporting the establishment of 26 consortia consisting of universities, non-university research institutions, departmental research facilities, academies and other publicly funded information infrastructure organisations. The aim is to develop standards for interoperable research data management and to ensure international connectivity.
