How does it work?

All institutions in the scientific community (and beyond) can actively participate in the development and implementation of these services and submit proposals via the sections of the German National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI). A panel of experts selects the proposals of the development teams for Base4NFDI, which then receive funding from the German Research Foundation (DFG). These teams also receive support and guidance in areas such as development, implementation, and training. After development, the NFDI basic services will be offered permanently to the scientific community. Base4NFDI thus actively contributes to the systematic opening and networking of the German science system.
