About us
The business community continuously collects data and works with methods and standards that are of great interest to several scientific disciplines within the NFDI. Conversely, science also has data and methodological competencies that are significant for industry.
The Industry Engagement section is therefore concerned with the overarching design of collaborations between industry and the NFDI consortia, basic services and other sections. This includes, among other things, the creation of a joint exchange platform between industry and science, the identification and concretisation of overarching problem areas, possibly already an initial joint development of solution spaces as well as a standardisation and simplification of forms of cooperation within the NFDI. Parallel to the involvement of the business community in the work of the section, a continuous exchange with existing sections within the NFDI will be established.
Goals
- Establishment of a continuous, open and trustful exchange between NFDI and business actors
- Identifying and addressing jointly prioritised problems
- Standardisation of communication and framework conditions for economic cooperation
- Establishment of an exchange platform with economic partners
