DMP4NFDI enters the integration phase by decision of the consortium meeting, the application for the basic service DMP4NFDI of Base4NFDI will be continued in the integration phase. The service represents an important building block for the expansion of shared infrastructures within the NFDI.
DMP4NFDI (Data Management Plans for NFDI) is a centralised technical service that supports the creation, maintenance and use of data management plans (DMPs) and software management plans (SMPs) within the consortia. The focus is on hosting and further developing the open source tool RDMO, supplemented by coordinated template development, standardisation of content and comprehensive advice and training for DMP managers in the NFDI.
The aim is to improve interdisciplinary exchange, pool requirements at an early stage and promote interoperable DMPs – as the cornerstone of functioning research data management. The service thus not only strengthens operational collaboration within the consortia, but also the sustainable infrastructure in the entire NFDI research data ecosystem.

Impulse papers on NFDI service portfolio and financial flows published
On July 14, 2025, the German Council of Science and Humanities (WR) presented the results of its structural evaluation of the German National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI). In its report, the WR makes recommendations for the further development of NFDI. The NFDI Task Force Governance and Sustainability (TFGS) is also addressing this issue. In its work plan “Steps for the Further Development of our NFDI,” the TFGS has defined clear framework conditions for the further development of the structure and financing of NFDI.
What’s next for NFDI after 2028? German Science and Humanities Council presents evaluation report.
At its meeting on 11 July 2025, the German Council of Science and Humanities (Wissenschaftsrat, WR) adopted a report on the structural evaluation of the German National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI). This is highly relevant for the future design of NFDI.
