At its meeting on 11 October, the Consortia Assembly decided to fund three basic services. RDMTraining4NFDI will enter the initialisation phase, while PID4NFDI and TS4NFDI have been approved for the subsequent integration phase.
The funding will flow via Base4NFDI.
Here you will find an overview of all previous submission rounds: https://base4nfdi.de/projects/all-submissions
RDMTraining4NFDI aims to create a modular collection of foundational RDM training materials. Access to these materials will enable consortia to efficiently develop their own community-specific adaptation of such training. More: RDMTraining4NFDI – Base4NFDI
PID4NFDI aims to enhance the usability of existing PID systems for the NFDI by supporting improvements in technical and organisational interoperability, boosting metadata quality, and creating awareness through training and outreach programs. More: PID4NFDI – Base4NFDI
TS4NFDI aims to provide a central access point to all terminologies and a suite of widgets that can be added to existing applications of the users. TS4NFDI supports cross-domain application, harmonisation, and curation of terminologies. More: TS4NFDI – Base4NFDI
We are looking forward to what’s ahead of us and encourage the NFDI community to join this endeavour by actively participating in the NFDI sections!
