Through the active participation of its members in currently twelve of the 26 nationwide initiatives (as well as in the consortium network Base4NFDI) for the establishment of a National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI), the U Bremen Research Alliance has the best prerequisites for implementing Research Data Management across disciplines and institutions, also in cooperation with other locations.
NFDI consortia in the U Bremen Research Alliance
Projects of the first call:
NFDI4Biodiversity
NFDI4Biodiversity is a consortium under the umbrella of the National Research Data Infrastructure dedicated to the collaborative use of biodiversity and environmental data.
Involved members:
University of Bremen / MARUM, Speaker
Further institutions: AWI, GFBio e.V., ZMT

NFDI4Health
NFDI4Health - the National Research Data Infrastructure for Personal Health Data - focuses on data generated in clinical, epidemiological and public health studies. The collection and analysis of these data on health and disease status and important factors influencing it are an essential component for the development of new therapies, comprehensive care approaches and preventive measures of a modern healthcare system.
Involved members:
BIPS, Co-Speaker
Further institutions: MEVIS, University of Bremen
Contact person:

NFDI4Ing
As part of the National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI), the consortium aims to develop, disseminate, standardize, and provide methods and services to make engineering research data FAIR.
Involved members:
DFKI
Contact persons:
Prof. Dr. Frank Kirchner und Dr. Florian Cordes (Participants; DFKI)
KonsortSWD
KonsortSWD builds up services for research with data in the social, behavioral, educational, and economic sciences as part of the NFDI.
Involved members:
University of Bremen, Co-Speaker
Contact person:
Prof. Dr. Betina Hollstein (Co-Speaker; University of Bremen / SOCIUM / QUALISERVICE)
Projects of the second call:
NFDI4DataScience
The vision of NFDI4DataScience (NFDI4DS) is to support all steps of the complex and interdisciplinary research data lifecycle, including collecting / creating, processing, analyzing, publishing, archiving, and reusing resources in the fields of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence.
Involved members:
AWI
Contact person:
Prof. Dr. Frank Oliver Glöckner (Participant; AWI, PANGAEA, University of Bremen / MARUM)
NFDI4Earth
NFDI4Earth is focused on the digital needs of Earth System Science. NFDI4Earth is a community-driven process designed to provide researchers with FAIR, coherent, and open access to all relevant Earth System Data, innovative Research Data Management, and Data Science methodologies.
Involved members:
AWI, Co-Speaker
Further institutions: University of Bremen / MARUM
Contact persons:
Prof. Dr. Stephan Frickenhaus (Co-Speaker AWI) and Prof. Dr. Michal Kucera (Participant; University of Bremen / MARUM)
NFDI-MatWerk
National Research Data Infrastructure for Materials Science & Engineering: To implement a materials-specific data space, the NFDI-MatWerk aims to reduce technological barriers in MSE by developing generic software tools and an overarching data and information infrastructure.
Involved members:
IWT
Contact persons:
Dr. Matthias Steinbacher (Participant; IWT) and Dr. Norbert Riefler (WT)
NFDI4Microbiota
The vision of the NFDI4Microbiota Consortium is that researchers in Microbiology (including Bacteriology, Virology, Protistology, Mycology, and Parasitology) can easily transform research data into a deep understanding of microbial species and their interactions at the molecular level. The mission of the NFDI4Microbiota Consortium is to be the central hub in Germany for supporting the Microbiology community with access to data, analytical services, data / metadata standards, and training.
Involved members:
MPIMM
Contact person:
Prof. Dr. Rudolf Amann (Participant; MPIMM)
Projects of the third call:
NFDI4Energy
Digitalization processes, which affect technical, social, and societal aspects as well as the research process itself, also play a role in energy system research. The research heavily relies on model- and (co-)simulation-based approaches, often requiring the involvement of industry partners and society in the research. As a result, tracking data and models, due to the complexity of research projects, represents one of the current challenges.
Here, NFDI4Energy leverages existing research data management (RDM) approaches, which are being developed in other NFDI consortia, and adapts them to the needs of its own research community
Involved members:
University of Bremen (has joined)
Contact person:
Dr. Torben Stührmann (Participant; University of Bremen)
NFDI4Memory
NFDI4Memory brings together partners united by a common set of interests, needs, and aims related to the distinct challenges faced by those disciplines that use historical methods or that rely on data requiring historical contextualization.
Involved members:
DSM
Contact person:
Prof. Dr. Sebastian Vehlken (Participant; DSM)
NFDI4Objects
NFDI4Objects is a multidisciplinary consortium building a research data infrastructure (NFDI) for the material heritage of human and environmental history.
Involved members:
DSM (has joined)
Contact person:
Prof. Dr. Sebastian Vehlken (Participant; DSM)
