About the event

Base4NFDI invites you to the 3rd Base4NFDI User Conference - UC4B2026!
This year again, Base4NFDI and the funded basic services want to get into discussion with you, our users.

This year again, Base4NFDI and the funded basic services want to get into discussion with you, our users.

  • a hands-on part with incubator presentations and possibility to present service integration in your community
  • an exchange on strategic service topics, e.g. operating models

The aim of the event 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 participants to increase the visibility of their work, exchange insights with stakeholders from across the NFDI and help identify opportunities for broader adoption and integration of services. 
However, the central aim of the event is to benefit cooperation between basic service teams and consortia. 

More information can be found on the Indico event page.
