Presentation
of the NFDI4Energy
Progress Report

|
|
On
July 7th, NFDI4Energy
reached a major
milestone:
representatives of the
consortium presented
the consortium’s
progress to the NFDI
Expert Committee of
the DFG in Bonn. They
gave a 15-minute talk
and contributed to the
90-minute poster
session, answering a
wide range of
questions on community
building, data,
ontologies, industry
connections, the
vision, and governance
of NFDI4Energy.

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.
