Description

The German National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI) is a science-led network that aims to establish a sustainable, decentralised research data ecosystem in Germany. The objective is to provide reliable services, establish cross-disciplinary standards, secure access to high-quality research data and enable their reuse in accordance with the FAIR principles. 26 consortia from all research areas and the Base4NFDI initiative are jointly developing concepts, services and infrastructures to simplify the handling of research data for the future. They are working together to realise the vision of the NFDI Association: data as a common good for excellent research, organised by the scientific community in Germany.

Data stewards and NFDI play central roles in research data management (RDM). As bridge builders between research, IT and administration, data stewards design local implementations of RDM standards. They can put NFDI impulses into practice at their institutions. We present the structure and strategic goals of NFDI as well as possible participation opportunities for data stewards.

The poster is intended to open a dialogue: How can cooperation between NFDI and data stewards be strengthened in order to ensure sustainable research data management?
