National research data infrastructure (NFDI)

The consortia of the national research data infrastructure (NFDI) are subject-specific working groups for the sustainable development and utilization of research data, which establish research data management according to the FAIR principles. The consortia receive funding for up to 10 years and are also networked to international initiatives.
