The next funding round in our seed fund programme has started. The application phase lasts from now until February 15th, 2022. The NFDI4Ing Seed Funds are open to scientists from all engineering research areas. NFDI4Ing addresses overarching data management issues in data–generating engineering activities, currently focussed on the following topics:
- Bespoke experiments with high variability of setups
- Engineering research software
- Provenance tracking of physical samples and data samples
- High performance measurements & computations
- Extensive & heterogeneous data requirements
- Many participants & simultaneous devices
- Field data & distributed systems
In addition, NFDI4Ing offers opportunities to contribute your own ideas. The NFDI4Ing Seed Funds are designed to continuously develop the consortium’s work program and adapt it to the needs of the engineering community. The NFDI4Ing Seed Funds provide resources to support innovative approaches to research data management in all stages of development, testing and implementation.
