Published on 19.12.2023) We are stepping away from Twitter/X in favour of platforms that are currently more aligned with our values. Find us on Mastodon, LinkedIn or BlueSky!
The NFDI association and all NFDI consortia are dedicated to the core values of Open Science. We value diversity – not only in the data we care about, but also in the conversations we engage in. We are committed to nurturing an environment that is welcoming, supportive, respectful and free of harassment, intimidation, bullying and discrimination. The decisions of Twitter/X to substantially reduce their content moderation teams and to invite previously banned perpetrators of hate speech back onto their platform, run contrary to this commitment. We’ve therefore decided to move our social media engagement away from Twitter/X. Henceforth, we’re focusing our efforts on our accounts on platforms that currently better resonate with our values, such as our own welcoming NFDI Mastodon instance, LinkedIn or BlueSky.
We will stop using Twitter/X from December 31th 2023. Our account will remain inactive, serving as an archive rather than a conduit for communication. We encourage you to join us in other spaces that support constructive and respectful dialogue.
Please check the overview with alternative platforms to stay in touch with the NFDI and NFDI consortia!

5-year anniversary of the NFDI association: A brief journey through time in 5 images
Five years ago, on 12 October 2020, the German federal and state governments jointly founded the association Nationale Forschungsdateninfrastruktur (NFDI) e.V. in Hannover. More than 300 institutions are now members, and the association continues to grow. The members are united by a common vision: data as a shared good for excellent research, organised by the scientific community in Germany.
To celebrate the association’s 5th anniversary, we would like to take a brief journey through time in 5 pictures. The photos illustrate how NFDI has transformed throughout its development phase into a strong network.
