Interested in connecting with us on a national, european, or global level?
Let’s strengthen the research data landscape together. Whether you’re involved in national, European, or global initiatives in research data management or energy research, we’d be happy to connect. Reach out, and let’s explore potential collaborations and joint activities.
Collaboration in the NFDI
NFDI4Energy actively supports the NFDI-wide vision of OneNFDI. One essential building block for this is establishing foundational services (“Base Services”) that foster synergies beyond individual domains. OneNFDI describes a coherent, integrated ecosystem that delivers added value beyond the sum of its parts. NFDI comprises 26 consortia plus Base4NFDI that strive toward this common goal of OneNFDI.
In doing so, NFDI4Energy aims for collaboration across consortia: We are active contributors to Base4NFDI, especially to the Base services nfdi.software and TS4nfdi. Regular dialogue with the Data Stewards from Base4NFDI ensures that evolving user needs are addressed. We engage with consortia such as BERD and Text+. These efforts are aimed at leveraging results and addressing overlapping user needs.
Furthermore, NFDI4Energy actively contributes to strategic development and cross-consortial coordination through involvement in the Task Forces on Governance and Sustainability. This further ensures our voice in shaping long-term, community-driven research data infrastructure in Germany.
Interested in shaping the future of research data management together?
We are always looking for collaborators who share our vision for a coherent, interoperable NFDI. Whether you have ideas for collaboration or see synergies with your consortium, we would love to hear from you.
NFDI4Energy PhD network
The NFDI4Energy PhD Network aims to connect doctoral researchers working on NFDI4Energy-related topics and to foster exchange, collaboration, and mutual support. We offer several opportunities to engage and share knowledge within the community.
The NFDI4Energy PhD community provides various opportunities for connection, collaboration, and growth. Each year at the NFDI4Energy Conference, our PhD researchers have the option to come together for a dedicated workshop that provides space for personal exchange, peer learning, and inspiration. Topics are gathered and decided in advance through a dedicated Rocket.Chat channel, ensuring that the sessions reflect the community’s shared interests and research challenges. Our Rocket.Chat channel serves as a meeting point for NFDI4Energy PhDs. It’s a place to share literature, discuss research questions, exchange useful tools, and seek feedback from peers. If your institution is part of NFDI4Energy or any other NFDI Consortia, you are warmly invited to join the channel and become part of the conversation.
