NFDI4Ing. RDM from an engineering perspective

HeFDI Data Talk Abstract: In this presentation, the NFDI4Ing (National Research Data Infrastructure for Engineering) introduces itself: We show how we address the heterogeneity of engineering with our structure and content and which offerings are available. About the HeFDI Data Talks: The HeFDI Data Talks are a bi-weekly open information and discussion event focused on data management in the context of science, in which relevant NFDI consortia as well as research data management services present themselves. The series discusses current topics and presents numerous – including local and regional –tools and services. The HeFDI Data Talks are an offer of the HeFDI Initiative (Landesinitiative HeFDI), which is funded by Hesse’s Ministry for Science and Arts (HMWK).

NFDI4Ing addresses overarching data management issues in data-generating engineering activities The NFDI4Ing Seed Funds are designed to continuously develop the consortium’s work program and adapt it to the needs of the engineering community. The NFDI4Ing Seed Funds provide resources to support innovative approaches to research data management in all stages of development, testing and implementation. In order to ensure proper networking from the get-go, the application for funding should be made in close consultation with a representative from the NFDI4Ing consortium. 7,28 12,42 — page 5,03 2023-06-30 NFDI4Ing News The NFDI4Ing Newsletter: https://nfdi4ing.de/news New issues approx. every two months.
