Base4NFDI Updates after Consortia Assembly

by Fritzsche, Franziska

Good morning everyone, Following the last Consortium Assembly, Base4NFDI has two important updates for you: Firstly, following the eleventh round of Base4NFDI calls for proposals, TS4NFDI<https://terminology.services.base4nfdi.de/> received approval from the NFDI Consortium Assembly for funding for the final Base4NFDI phase, the Ramp-Up Phase. Congratulations to the basic service team! Secondly, Base4NFDI is pleased to announce the launch of the new Base4NFDI Service Support Track. Starting in October, Base4NFDI will introduce the Base4NFDI Service Support Track (SST), designed to provide targeted, low-threshold support to promising basic service candidates within the NFDI ecosystem. Following the April 2026 decision<https://base4nfdi.de/?view=article&id=185:update-regarding-base4nfdi-fundin…> that no new proposals can be submitted under the existing three-phase funding model due to limited funding availability, Base4NFDI is taking a complementary approach. The Service Support Track enables continued progress by making strategic use of remaining Base4NFDI resources to strengthen service development and achieve concrete results. Why should services apply to the Service Support Track? The Service Support Track offers a pragmatic and results-oriented support pathway. Participating services benefit from: * Targeted support from Base4NFDI to advance service maturity and achieve clearly defined outcomes. * Optional financial support of up to 20,000 euros for activities such as workshops or external expertise (subject to available funds, no staff costs are eligible). * Access to experienced Base4NFDI staff with expertise in service development and the NFDI landscape. * Increased visibility within the NFDI community, including opportunities for demo or showcase sessions. * Endorsement and alignment with Base4NFDI standards and processes. The scheme is deliberately designed to be low-threshold, with a compact proposal format and a focus on "getting things done" rather than lengthy application procedures. Who Can Apply During the initial pilot phase (until July 2027), eligibility is limited to services that have previously submitted a proposal to Base4NFDI but are not currently funded. These services have already undergone review processes in sections, demonstrated community support (consortia survey), and reached a minimum level of maturity, enabling a faster and more efficient support process. The Service Support Track is aimed at basic service candidates that: * Already have actively engaged staff who will work with and implement the results. * Demonstrate a minimum level of service readiness. * Fulfil the NFDI basic service definition<https://base4nfdi.de/process/basic-services>, including confirmed relevance by consortia. Next steps Starting in August 2026, Base4NFDI will offer regular office hours to introduce the Service Support Track and guide interested applicants through the process. How to apply Applicants will be invited to submit a short proposal outlining: * The specific outcomes they aim to achieve with Base4NFDI support. * The current status of their service in relation to the Base4NFDI Service Readiness Levels. These take a similar approach as the known TRLs but offer a better applicability for less technical services and apply a broader approach to service readiness, taking user engagement, operational models and more into consideration. More information on the Service Readiness Levels will be published soon. The proposal template and further information on the process will be communicated soon. If you have any questions, please contact the Base4NFDI Office (base4nfdi-office(a)lists.nfdi.de<mailto:base4nfdi-office@lists.nfdi.de>).

Open calls and event announcements

by Fritzsche, Franziska

Good morning Base4NFDI enthusiasts, we collected some important news for you: 1. Call for Contributions UC4B 2026 2. Invitation IAM4NFDI Sprint Demos 3. IAM4NFDI: Call for Incubators August 2026 Please feel free to share this information with anyone who might be interested or point them to this mailing list<https://lists.nfdi.de/postorius/lists/base4nfdi-consortia-exchange.lists.nf…>. Best regards, Franziska Fritzsche On behalf of the Base4NFDI Office Call for Contributions UC4B 2026 This year marks the third edition of the Base4NFDI User Conference (UC4B2026). We will meet on November 24-25 at Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin, Haus Potsdamer Straße. We hereby cordially invite you to contribute to the conference (see below). Registration for participation will open in August/September 2026; you will be notified in due time. Event website with all further information: https://events.gwdg.de/e/uc4b2026 Call for Contributions for UC4B2026 (https://events.gwdg.de/event/1337/abstracts/) Background and Scope Today, research data is still often distributed across numerous repositories, hard to locate, and available only for a limited time. The NFDI seeks to improve the findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reusability (FAIRness) of research data. Within this framework, Base4NFDI integrates and establishes Basic Services - shared, interoperable solutions that address cross-disciplinary needs. Existing services are being adapted and extended to support researchers from other domains, helping to avoid redundant developments and foster sustainable, community-driven infrastructures. The long-term goal is to shape, together, the evolving service portfolio that Base4NFDI contributes both to the NFDI ecosystem and to the broader RDM landscape together. The Base4NFDI User Conference (UC4B) has become a central forum for presenting, discussing, and operationalizing current developments in Base4NFDI-funded services, fostering exchange on incubator projects, community integration efforts, and strategic service topics across the NFDI. This year marks the third edition of the conference. The 2026 program welcomes contributions from across the NFDI and beyond. Members of sections, working groups, consortia, Basic Service teams, and related initiatives are invited to participate and share their ideas and experiences as well as best practices. Call for Contributions We invite the submission of abstracts showcasing activities and experiences related to Base4NFDI or Basic Services in the context of the NFDI. Possible types of contributions: * Incubator Presentations: Base4NFDI Service Incubators are an efficient way to test, prepare, and enable the integration of basic services into NFDI consortia. We invite reports from incubators in every state showcasing their added value. We especially encourage presentations that tell the story behind a challenge, the approach taken, and the lessons learned in an easy-to-follow manner. Possible aspects include: what community RDM problem the incubators project aims to solve, the motivation for establishing the incubator, preparatory steps, collaboration between consortia and Basic Services, and the specific benefits emerging from these partnerships. Accepted contributions are expected to be allocated approximately 15 minutes including time for questions or discussion; the final program may vary depending on the number of submissions. * Talks: A broader slot for short, accessible presentations in the plenary. Possible topics include but are not limited to: * User stories beyond incubators * How Basic services solved disciplinary or consortia challenge * How Basic services encouraged data sharing across communities * Operational models (complementary to the program slot on service operations) * Missing Basic Services or identified cross-cutting needs * Insights and synergies from services outside the NFDI * Posters: The most inclusive category, addressing all topics related to Basic Services. Submissions are encouraged from NFDI consortia, sections, basic services and external initiatives alike. Accepted posters will be presented in a one-minute madness session during the conference. When submitting, please indicate the category most relevant to your contribution. The program committee reserves the right to reassign accepted abstracts to a different category. By contributing, participants can 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. Submission Details * Abstract length: maximum 500 words * Format: please use the official template<https://docs.google.com/document/d/10sEiUWyyY_cuvhNUZc-XgHlxy7wgsQYy/> and attach it to your submission. * Language: English * Submission deadline: July 22, 2026 * Submission portal: https://events.gwdg.de/event/1337/abstracts/ * Review process: coordinated with NFDI sections and Base4NFDI staff; final decisions will be made by the program chairs * Participation: at least one author per accepted contribution must attend the conference in person (no virtual participation) * Publication: slides and posters will be made available on Zenodo after the event; accepted abstracts may be revised before publication and may be featured on the conference website in advance For inquiries, please contact: base4nfdi-uc4b(a)lists.nfdi.de<mailto:base4nfdi-uc4b@lists.nfdi.de> Invitation IAM4NFDI Sprint Demos We'd like to invite you to a new event series organized by the IAM4NFDI<https://base4nfdi.de/projects/iam4nfdi> team. First, there will be sprint demos of the individual incubator projects. During the demo, incubator project members will present the current status of the incubator project and the next steps in just a few minutes. Afterwards, the floor will be open for general questions about IAM4NFDI. The event takes place every month on the third Thursday of the month from 9:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. After registering, you will receive the access link and more details about the agenda. If you are interested, please register here<https://rwth.zoom.us/meeting/register/JE1SDW7SS9-QVYVJSJIdrQ#/registration>. IAM4NFDI: Call for Incubators August 2026 Do you have an AAI-specific use case that you need support to implement? Then this is your chance. The IAM4NFDI<https://base4nfdi.de/projects/iam4nfdi> project has planned so-called incubator cycles to be able to react flexibly to the wishes of future users. With the incubator cycles you can bring in your ideas and needs for the NFDI-AAI and, thus, help shape its development. The next incubator cycle starts on August 1st, 2026 and they hereby call for applications. Please note the submission deadline is July 13, 2026. What do you have to do? 1. Please look at the attached description<https://pad.tools.coscine.dev/s/X_1mk4sKD> of the process 2.

Present your idea to the Main Incubator Board (MIB) on July 30, 2026 (details to follow) in 5 minutes and answer any remaining questions. Please send the team the presentation afterwards. 4. Your support and participation in the implementation of the incubator cycle is essential - please, plan for this and ensure that you can contribute during the period before submitting your idea. Please also have a look at their website<https://doc.nfdi-aai.de/> if you have any further questions about the IAM4NFDI project. You can also find more detailed information in their presentation at the NFDITalk<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SH-9m8M22V4>. IAM4NFDI checks all submissions and, if necessary, reserve them for following incubator cycles. The selection of incubator projects is made in consultation with Base4NFDI and depending on their available capacities. If you have already submitted an idea in one of the last cycles and received feedback that you have been earmarked for the next round, you do not have to submit your idea again - if it has not changed. They will let you know by July 23, 2026, whether your incubator project idea can be implemented in the next cycle.

PID4NFDI<https://base4nfdi.de/projects/pid4nfdi> * On April 22, PID4NFDI submitted its proposal for the Ramp-up phase, receiving a strong 69% approval from the consortia. While this demonstrates substantial backing, it missed the 75% threshold required to move on in the Basic-Service process. The threshold is designed to measure relevance across almost all communities. As many NFDI participants already rely on existing PID-related solutions and practices, additional support through a Basic Service was not viewed as sufficiently urgent by a large-enough group. This outcome should not be seen as a reflection of the initiative’s outstanding contributions, many of which are already broadly used within NFDI. Base4NFDI has greatly appreciated this collaboration that will continue until the end of 2026. While PID4NFDI cannot proceed to become a Basic Service, the results it has already produced will support the communities that still need the help PID4NFDI provided. More information on these reusable results will be shared after finishing their Integration phase. As already announced, Base4NFDI is currently developing a new flexible, modular model to offer targeted support and smaller-scale funding. Base4NFDI warmly invites the PID4NFDI team to stay involved by submitting smaller work packages under this new framework which will be shared with more details later this month. * Join the PID metadata online workshop on June 15, 2026 from 10-12h CEST! PID4NFDI brings together beginners and experienced practitioners to explore how DOI metadata can be queried, assessed, and put to work using the DataCite API — turning everyday institutional questions into concrete, reproducible insights. Programme and link to register<https://pid.services.base4nfdi.de/events/2026-06-15_hmc-workshop>. * PID4NFDI has held an NFDITalk on 18 May 2026 to introduce their PID4NFDI Service Components. You can find the recording on Youtube<https://www.youtube.com/live/2mbVbeoqznc?si=18F5k1Z-chEeA6ir>. * On June 4, PID4NFDI organised a community workshop on IGSN use cases to gather feedback on the upcoming guidelines and supporting materials for using IGSNs within NFDI. If you would like to provide feedback and review the material, you can find all relevant information and discussion points in this online pad<https://pad.gwdg.de/GiPDvgU0Qwyx0UciyA-VIw?view>. * PID4NFDI will participate in the PIDfest<https://www.pidfest.org/home>, which will take place in Leiden, the Netherlands, from October 27 to 29, 2026. KGI4NFDI<https://base4nfdi.de/projects/kgi4nfdi> * The basic service proposal from KGI4NFDI has been accepted for funding of the Integration phase following the Consortia Assembly’s decision. The Integration phase will start later in Summer 2026. * Consulting sessions for the service will run throughout the summer – every third Wednesday of the month at 3 PM. For meeting information check out the service website<https://kgi.services.base4nfdi.de/consultancy>. * The team was invited to present the service – and its Integration proposal – at the last NFDI4DataScience Consortium<https://events.hifis.net/event/3529/timetable/#20260521> meeting. The community’s feedback included balancing between the different community requirements represented in the KGI Registry – in terms of (metadata) breadth and depth – and potential generalizability, as well as validation considerations for the KGs that are part of this registry. DMP4NFDI<https://base4nfdi.de/projects/dmp4nfdi> * The DMP4NFDI Training Guideline – How to Plan and Run a Workshop on Data Management Plans is now available on Zenodo<https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.20529135>. * The 2nd Call for Incubators closed at the end of April. 4 new Incubator Projects will start in July with focus on Service Integration, DMP Template Development and Support for Outreach & Training (updates will follow in the next newsletter(s)). Check all projects on the team’s incubator dashboard<https://dmp.services.base4nfdi.de/incubator/> * On 28 and 29 May, the RDMO Hackathon took place at the University of Bremen, organised by GFBio. The DMP4NFDI team took part in the Hackathon. The various working groups focused, among other things, on the integration of Software Management Plans and the NFDI DMP Template Framework. Other topics covered included AI skills and the use of AI agents, improving export functions for views from RDMO, and complex attribute mapping. In doing so, the DMP4NFDI team was not only able to take away important learnings from but also to contribute significantly to the experience of working with the consortia on DMPs and RDMO. Jupyter4NFDI<https://base4nfdi.de/projects/jupyter4nfdi> * Jupyter4NFDI presented their service in a Demo Session on May 5. The recording of the session is now online on Youtube<https://youtu.be/sZSphcoqFt0?si=dXsjhdQER3EGMguM>. RDMTraining4NFDI<https://base4nfdi.de/projects/rdmtraining4nfdi> * The basic service proposal from RDMTraining4NFDI has been accepted for funding of the Integration phase following the Consortia Assembly’s decision. RDMTraining4NFDI’s Integration phase will start in August 2026. Until then the basic service will not be able to carry out any operational activities. Requests still can be sent via their mailing lists<https://rdmt.services.base4nfdi.de/contact/>. They will be addressed as soon as possible once the basic services resumes. Thank you for your understanding. * The RDMTraining4NFDI Report on the evaluation of certification types and processes is published on Zenodo<https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.19347894>. * The service has published the Concept of the RDMTraining4NFDI Hybrid Event on Research Data Management for NFDI Consortia on Zenodo<https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.19328263>. * Apologies – due to technical difficulties, the RDMT4NFDI demo session on April 14 could not be completed. The team will host another session in autumn for their Integration phase. RDMTraining4NFDI has presented their results of the Initialisation Phase at the section EduTrain and published their presentation slides and speaker notes on Zenodo<https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.20039790>. * The service has published their Initialisation Phase Achievements on the Base4NFDI website<https://base4nfdi.de/?view=article&id=187:rdmtraining4nfdi-initialisation-p…>.

Collaborations * New frontend of Infra Proxy implemented in collaboration (SER, Jupyter+IAM) Jupyter4NFDI was the first Basic Service to implement IAM4NFDI’s NFDI Infrastructure Proxy for the service login<https://hub.nfdi-jupyter.de/>, enabling any community or consortium connected to the NFDI-AAI to use the service. In collaboration with IAM4NFDI, Jupyter4NFDI, and the relevant Base4NFDI Service Stewards, the proxy’s frontend was customized to improve user-friendliness. Access is now available either by selecting the appropriate consortium or via the guest access option. The integration of AcademicID will follow shortly, allowing all four existing IAM4NFDI Community AAI solutions and their connected consortia to be used for login. Concurrently, a user study<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdC9-68EFMQK_WACTTLW3grBaxTYTVeS57…> was launched to gather feedback on the login process.

TS4NFDI: 4rd Call for Incubator Projects

by Fritzsche, Franziska

Good morning, we would like to draw your attention to the next TS4NFDI Call for Incubators. You will find the forwarded call below in both German and English. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the TS4NFDI team (ts4nfdi(a)lists.nfdi.de<mailto:ts4nfdi@lists.nfdi.de>) at any time. Kind regards, Franziska Fritzsche on behalf of the Base4NFDI Office Hallo alle, ihr habt einen Usecase* bei dessen Implementierung ihr Unterstützung bei der Integration/Bereitstellung von Terminologien benötigt? Dann kommt hier eure Chance. *z.B.: * Hosting von Terminologien * Bereitstellung eines domänenspezifischen Terminologiedienstes * Hinzufügen eines Terminologiedienstes zum TS4NFDI API Gateway * Integration der Terminology Service Suite Widgets * Bereitstellung von Terminologiesammlungen * Erstellung und/oder Bereitstellung von Terminologiemappings Im Rahmen des Projekts Terminology Services 4 NFDI (TS4NFDI) [1] wurden sogenannte Inkubator-Zyklen eingeplant, um flexibel auf Wünsche der User:innen reagieren zu können. Über einen Inkubator habt ihr die Möglichkeit, eure Vorstellungen und Bedürfnisse an Terminologiedienste für euer Projekt vorzustellen und die Integration/Bereitstellung dieser zusammen mit den Entwickler:innen von TS4NFDI umzusetzen. Was müsst ihr dafür tun? 1. Bitte informiert euch über die TS4NFDI Inkubatoren durch die Folien auf Zenodo [2] und lasst euch durch das Incubator Dashboard [3] auf dem TS4NFDI Service Portal inspirieren. 2. Wir benötigen von euch die folgenden Informationen: a) NFDI-Konsortiumszugehörigkeit (Es ist auch möglich sich zu bewerben wenn man keinen NFDI-Konsortium angehört) b) Titel eures Inkubator Projektes c) Beschreibung ihrer Idee für ein Inkubatorprojekt 3. Eure Unterstützung und euer Mitwirken bei der Umsetzung des Inkubator-Zyklus ist wesentlich – bitte plant das ein und stellt sicher, dass ihr in dem Zeitraum mitwirken könnt, bevor ihr eure Idee einreicht.

Then here's your chance. *e.g.: * 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 * Creation and management of terminology mappings As part of the Terminology Services 4 NFDI (TS4NFDI)[1] 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 [1] and get inspired by the Incubator Dashboard [2] 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 respond to this mail. The next TS4NFDI incubator cycle will start in August/September 2026 and we are hereby calling for applications. Please note the submission deadline of 23.06.2026. The TS4NFDI team is looking forward to your incubator proposals. You will receive feedback by 07.07.2026 as to whether you have been accepted as an incubator in this phase. Please send your application to ts4nfdi(a)lists.nfdi.de<mailto:ts4nfdi@lists.nfdi.de> or use the form under [3].

Upcoming Basic Service Workshops

by Fritzsche, Franziska

Dear consortium members, dear colleagues, We would like to draw your attention to a three upcoming workshops run by our basic services IAM4NFDI and PID4NFDI, where you will have the opportunity to engage in in-depth dialogue with the services. It would be great if you could join the events. Please feel free to pass this information on to anyone who might be interested. You can, of course, find further information about our basic services on our website: https://base4nfdi.de/ Best regards, Franziska Fritzsche On behalf of the Base4NFDI Office IAM4NFDI Community Workshop Do you manage user logins, roles, and access rights across your consortia services? Are external collaborators requesting temporary access to your services and data? Curious how Virtual Organizations (VOs) and community-wide IAM solutions can simplify access management? Join the IAM4NFDI Community AAI user meeting to learn about practical solutions and integration scenarios around AcademicID, didmos, RegApp, Unity, and InfraProxy - and exchange experiences with others across the NFDI landscape. No registration required - just drop in! When: Thursday, June 18, 2-5 PM Where: https://uni-kl-de.zoom-x.de/j/63974810038?pwd=tDdAUaaGqGn1sZtBhibbzRx19eCYz… Language: The meeting will primarily be held in German. However, everyone is welcome to speak in the language they are most comfortable with (German or English). PID4NFDI Community Workshop on IGSN Use Cases The International Generic Sample Number (IGSN)<https://ev.igsn.org/about-igsns> is a globally unique and persistent identifier (PID) for physical objects-ranging from rock samples and sediment cores to biological specimens and cultural heritage objects. By providing a machine-actionable link between samples, datasets, and publications, IGSNs ensure that physical research materials are as FAIR as the digital data derived from them. While the IGSN e.V.<https://ev.igsn.org/home> provides the global framework, a wide landscape of initiatives and services has emerged to support its implementation. This workshop<https://pid.services.base4nfdi.de/events/2026-06-04_igsn/> serves as a dedicated coordination space to map these activities within and around the NFDI. Whether you are an expert user or just starting your PID journey, join us to help synchronize IGSN activities across the NFDI landscape and bridge the gap between physical samples and the global PID ecosystem. Although this workshop focuses on use cases from the NFDI consortia, we warmly invite colleagues and interested parties who are not active members of an NFDI consortium or a Base4NFDI project to participate in the discussion. When: June 04, 2026, 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM (CEST) Where: Online via Zoom Registration: https://gfz-de.zoom-x.de/meeting/register/inSis27DTyKBI5nAngUplw Language: English PID4NFDI online workshop: Building Confidence with Research Metadata at Scale This hands-on, online workshop<https://pid.services.base4nfdi.de/events/2026-06-15_hmc-workshop/> empowers research support professionals to move beyond static views of metadata and actively interrogate, assess, and act on DOI metadata at scale using the DataCite API. Using the DataCite metadata schema as a practical reference point, participants will work directly with real DOI metadata to explore which metadata elements most strongly influence discovery, reuse, trust, and decision-making. While DataCite is used as a reference implementation, the approaches and principles discussed are applicable to other PID-based and metadata-rich infrastructures. Rather than inspecting records one by one, the workshop introduces the DataCite API as an accessible way to turn metadata into evidence. Participants will learn how to translate everyday institutional and research questions such as which records are missing licenses, how well ORCIDs or RORs are adopted, or which outputs are funded by a specific organisation into concrete, reproducible API queries. The focus is not on software development, but on practical metadata literacy: understanding how metadata is structured, how it can be queried systematically, and how enriched metadata can be used to support curation, reporting, policy monitoring, remediation planning, and decision-making. This workshop is aimed at repository managers, data stewards, PID infrastructure providers, and analysts working with DOI metadata. It is particularly suitable for professionals who engage with metadata operationally but have limited or no experience working with APIs. When: June 15, 2026, 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM (CEST) Where: Zoom Registration: https://gfz-de.zoom.us/meeting/register/0gAV_r7PR4CWd9CRmgfgGg#/registration Language: English [cid:image002.png@01DCEE7E.74CC2C60] Franziska Fritzsche (she/her) Base4NFDI Office GESIS - Leibniz Institute for the Social Science B6 4-5 68159 Mannheim Franziska.Fritzsche(a)gesis.org <mailto:Franziska.Fritzsche@gesis.org>+49 (0) 621/1246-246 Office Hours: Monday to Thursday 8 am to 4 pm https://base4nfdi.de<https://base4nfdi.de/> https://www.gesis.org<https://www.gesis.org/>
