National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI) @ UDE

The UDE is a member of Nationale Forschungsdateninfrastruktur (NFDI) e.V., a non-profit expertise and infrastructure network for research data management (RDM). The NFDI consortia aim to ensure that research data is stored safely and accessibly and to establish RDM practices in line with the FAIR principles.

Researchers at UDE shape the work of NFDI through their participation in a range of consortia.

Consortium led by UDE

NFDIxCS – Prof. Dr. Michael Goedicke

  • Consortium: NFDIxCS
  • Research field: Computer science
