Betty's (Re) Search Engine aims to solve the issue of finding research software. The engine searches for software repositories that match a given search string and then tries to find corresponding publications as well as all available metadata. This enables users to sort the repositories based on the number of citations, apply various filters and it also directly provides an impression about the research contexts in which a software has been successfully applied.

The NFDI-RFC (Request For Comments) process is adopted from the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standard. This process ensures that NFDI community submitted standards are practical, effective, and widely used within the research community. A review process for the publication of NFDI-RFCs was also designed to ensure that they meet the highest quality and integrity standards.
Learning & Teaching
The NFDI4ING Education Platform provides essential resources for self-paced trainings in RDM tailored specifically to engineering disciplines. Driven by the needs and characteristics of the engineering domain, these trainings provide basic RDM topics adapted for engineering, including use cases and interactive quiz elements. Based on that, users can start learning and enhancing their skills in managing research data effectively, improving collaboration in their projects, and reuse research data.
