About the National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI)
The aim of the National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI) is to systematically manage scientific and research data, provide long-term data storage and accessibility, and network the data internationally. The network consists of specialized interconnected points¬ - the individual consortiums. Coordination of the NFDI4BioDiversity consortium is managed by MARUM – Center for Marine Environmental Sciences at the University of Bremen. However, there is more than “only” the diversity of species behind biodiversity. Biodiversity also includes genetic diversity, functional diversity, and the interactions and diversity of entire ecosystems. Together with the three also successful consortia that have involvement from Bremen in health, engineering, and social sciences, Bremen is on the path to becoming a national and international competence center in the field of research data management.
About the U Bremen Research Alliance
The University of Bremen and eleven institutes from non-university research, which are financed by the Bund and Länder and have offices in the State of Bremen, cooperate within the U Bremen Research Alliance. Over 6,000 people work in alliance institutes. Alongside the university research institutes, the alliance is comprised of the four large German science societies (Fraunhofer Society, Max Planck Society, Leibniz Association, and Helmholtz Association), as well as the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence.
