Valuable data from science and research are being systematically made accessible, networked, and sustainably usable in high quality for the entire German research system through the National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI). Until now, such data have often been available only in decentralized, project-based, or temporary forms.

Effective research data management strengthens interdisciplinary collaboration and reinforces Germany as a research location. It enables a systematic approach to big data and supports the use of artificial intelligence. Moreover, it facilitates the responsible sharing of data between science and industry as well as on an international level.

NFDI aims to establish a long-term digital knowledge repository — an essential foundation for addressing new research questions, generating insights, and fostering innovation.
Relevant data will be made available in accordance with the FAIR principles: Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable.
