🎉 On July 4, the Joint Science Conference (Gemeinsame Wissenschaftskonferenz GWK) decided to continue funding all nine consortia of the first 2020 call for proposals for the National Research Data Infrastructure (Nationale Forschungsdateninfrastruktur NFDI):

• DataPLANT (RUB – Participant)
  Consortium for research data management in the field of basic plant research
• GHGA
  National infrastructure for human genome data.
• KonsortSWD/NFDI4Society
  Consortium for social, educational, behavioural and economic sciences
• NFDI4Biodiversity
  Network for collecting and working with biodiversity data
• NFDI4Cat
  Consortium for catalysis research and catalysis-related sciences such as chemical engineering and process engineering
• NFDI4Chem
  Open and FAIR infrastructure for research data management in chemistry
• NFDI4Culture
  Infrastructure for research data on tangible and intangible cultural assets within the overall structure of the NFDI
• NFDI4Health (RUB – Participant)
  Establishment of a comprehensive inventory of German epidemiological, public health and clinical study data
• NFDI4ING
  Consortium for the German engineering research landscape

You can find more information in the GWK press release or in the news release of NFDI.
