Information material on the NFDI

Here we provide you with information material on the NFDI. You will find a short document on the NFDI, two videos presenting background information on the NFDI and the review process, as well as graphics from the videos for re-use.

What is the National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI)?

In this video we explain the position of the NFDI in the national research data landscape, its goals and its structure with a focus on the NFDI consortia and their challenges.

The NFDI Review Process

The DFG organises the review process for consortia in the context of establishing the NFDI. In this video you will learn how the review in the second selection round will be conducted, what is expected from reviewers and some important background information.
