A two-day workshop brought together experts from research, cultural heritage, and collections to explore shared approaches and future infrastructures for the unique identification and referencing of buildings.
Roger Winkler presented current work on the Architectural RDM-Pipeline and NFDI4ING at the Design Technology Meetup in Frankfurt am Main, focusing on how curated architectural research data collections can become useful for research and practice beyond individual projects.
NFDI4ING is introducing its Associated Partners programme, creating a simple way for researchers and research groups to establish and demonstrate their connection to NFDI4ING.
Hochschule RheinMain adapted NFDI4ING training materials for its doctoral center. A practical experiment showed what happens when research data has to be understood and reused by someone else.
A new publication by Roger Winkler, Chris Dähne, and Andreas Noback examines challenges of data availability in architectural research, serving as conceptual foundations for the Architectural RDM-Pipeline.
The presentation slides from our RDM Basics for Engineers lecture series are now available on Zenodo as Open Educational Resources. Following two successful public editions, the materials have been revised based on participant feedback and are now openly available for reuse.
From July 6–8, 2026, the second NFDI4ING ALEX’ Summer School took place on-site in Darmstadt, offering participants a hands-on introduction to research data management (RDM) in the engineering sciences.
Following the NFDI-RFC workshop held in March, a new preprint has been published in ing.grid. It introduces a transparent and collaborative framework for developing Research Data Management standards within the NFDI.
Hana Svatoš-Ražnjević and Roger Winkler presented their work on FAIR data workflows for AEC research at ETH Zurich on May 21–22, 2026, as part of the poster highlight session.
NFDI4ING and NFDI4Energy strengthen their long-standing partnership with a joint MoU to advance research data management for engineering and energy sciences.
