New Federal-State Agreement on the NFDI
The Joint Science Conference (GWK) has decided on a new federal-state
agreement for the NFDI: the federal and state governments will continue
funding the NFDI from 2029 for another ten years, with up to €98.7
million annually. We're delighted about this long-term planning security
and thank everyone who advocated for the continuation of the NFDI.
