Following CoRDI 2025, Base4NFDI invites you to the second Base4NFDI User Conference (UC4B2025) in Aachen from 28 to 29 August 2025.
The aim of the event is to strengthen the exchange between base services, consortia and international experts on the development of joint NFDI infrastructures.
The conference will address issues relating to the technical and organisational implementation of base services in the NFDI and provide a forum for discussions on sustainable research data management, international cooperation and the practical implementation of services in the consortia.
The programme is divided into three parts:
- a Base4NFDI slot at CoRDI at RWTH C.A.R.L. (Claßenstraße 11, 52072 Aachen)
- a panel discussion with evening reception at Forum M (Buchkremerstraße 1-7, 52062 Aachen) and
- a focus day on basic services at the Werkzeugmaschinenlabor (WZL) (Steinbachstraße 19, 52074 Aachen).
The venues are accessible for people with disabilities. Participants who require assistance can contact the organisers directly.
Participation is free of charge. However, prior registration is required. Further information and registration details can be found on the event page.

On July 4, 2025, the Joint Science Conference (GWK) decided to continue funding all nine NFDI consortia from the first funding round. They will receive follow-up funding and will start the second project phase in October 2025. The federal and state governments will jointly provide around 92 million euros for this purpose until the end of 2028.
This decision is excellent news for the consortia involved and for everyone involved in research data management (RDM). The NFDI plays a central role in establishing a sustainable, interdisciplinary data infrastructure in Germany.

On April 29, 2025, the second user meeting of Coscine.nrw took place. The event not only offered exciting insights into current developments in the research data management (RDM) platform, but was above all interactive. In a creative group work phase, participants jointly developed specific criteria for evaluating storage space requests—an important building block for the review process of the new DataStorage.nrw storage system.
