RDMTraining4NFDI - survey for your needs of RDM training

Call for Survey

2025-06-16

Please help our Basic Service RDMTraining4NFDI to support their users when it comes to Research Data Management training. Only you can answer that – you, who designs, conducts, participates in or is otherwise involved in RDM training!

To learn more about your needs for their service, we kindly ask you to take up to 10 minutes to complete their survey.

All responses are voluntary, anonymous and cannot be traced back to you.

No time to complete the survey right now? You have until June 27 to share your feedback.

If you’d like to learn more about RDMTraining4NFDI, feel free to visit the service landing page.
If you have any questions about the service or the survey, don’t hesitate to contact the team: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

UC4B2025: Registration is now open!

Registration UC4B 2025 2

2025-06-11

We happily invite you to our 2nd Base4NFDI User Conference (UC4B2025)! The registration is now open! Please register until August 1, 2025.

When: 28.-29. August 2025

Where: Aachen, Germany

The aim of the conference is to present the basic services and the progress of their work, to shed light on the development and sustainable operation of research infrastructures in general and also from an international perspective and, above all, to examine hands-on in cooperation with the basic service teams how the roll-out of basic services in the consortia can function technically and organizationally.
The interactive program will allow the basic service teams to show themselves, promote exchange with international experts and also report on the status of the Base4NFDI project. However, the central aim of the event is to benefit cooperation between basic service teams and consortia.

This year's event is divided into three parts:

  • a dedicated Base4NFDI slot at the CoRDI 2025
  • a panel discussion directly following the CoRDI with a subsequent evening reception
  • a focus day for the basic services, where they can come into contact with their users and those responsible for their implementation in an individual way

For more information have a look on our event page.

TS4NFDI - Call for Incubators

Call for Incubators TS

2025-05-27

Do you have a use case whose implementation you need support with the integration/provision of terminology? Then here's your chance.

Use cases could be:

  • Hosting of terminologies
  • Setup a domain specific terminology service
  • Adding terminology services to the TS4NFDI API Gateway
  • Integration of Terminology Service Suite widgets
  • Provision of collection(s) via the TS4NFDI API Gateway

As part of the Terminology Services 4 NFDI (TS4NFDI) project, so-called incubator cycles have been planned in order to be able to react flexibly to user requests. An incubator gives you the opportunity to present your ideas and needs for terminology services for your project and to implement the integration/provision of these together with the TS4NFDI developers.

What do you need to do?

  1. Please inform yourself about the TS4NFDI incubators using the slides on Zenodo and get inspired by the Incubator Dashboard on the TS4NFDI Service Portal.
  2. We need the following information from you:
    a) NFDI consortium affiliation (It is also possible to apply if you are not part of an NFDI consortium)
    b) Title of your incubator project
    c) Description of your idea for an incubator project
  3. Your support and involvement in the implementation of the incubator cycle is essential - please plan for this and ensure that you can participate in the period before you submit your idea.

We are happy to answer questions by e-mail. If it is not possible to answer the questions by e-mail, it is also possible to obtain a consultation appointment during the application phase. For questions you could response to this mail.

The next TS4NFDI incubator cycle will start in August 2025 and we are hereby calling for applications. Please note the submission deadline of 20.06.2025. The TS4NFDI team is looking forward to your incubator proposals. You will receive feedback by 30.06.2025 as to whether you have been accepted as an incubator in this phase.
