NFDI4Ing Conference 2025
general information
The 2025 NFDI4ING Conference will be held in person for the first time since the start of the project, offering an opportunity to connect, collaborate, and exchange ideas across the engineering-focused NFDI consortium.
The conference brings together NFDI4ING team members as well as interested researchers and voices from the industry. Its main goal is to deepen dialogue on RDM and to work together on shared challenges and use-cases, such as integrating data literacy into engineering education, using FAIR principles in industry, and building federated infrastructures for digital objects, data products, and knowledge graphs.
The event follows a “lunch-to-lunch” format from 15 to 16 September 2025 at Georg-Christoph-Lichtenberg-Haus in Darmstadt, with a conference dinner on the first evening.
We look forward to seeing you there!
