NFDI4Ing provides infrastructure, best practices and templates to make research software and its development more replicable and reproducible while improving the quality of the written code. For the further improvement of the our RDM knowledge base and our JupyterHub prototype,
For the quality assurance of research data management, NFDI4Ing has developed maturity models that enable researchers to assess the implementation of data management in their research projects.
With our benchmark suite we investigated object storages. Based on the results, we compiled usage guidelines to improve transfer speeds and continuously monitor connection quality.
JARVES launched its alpha phase during the 112th Bibliocon in Hamburg. Meanwhile, the underlying research process is published as a paper in ing.grid. Read more on JARVES, your digital data steward!
In his recently published doctoral thesis, Nico Brandt analyses various use cases from the engineering sciences and discusses the development of a suitable research data infrastructure.

A new publication discusses possible future roles of Data Management Plans (DMPs), templates, and tools in the upcoming NFDI service architecture. This position paper summarises ideas developed and collected during interdisciplinary workshops of the Data Management Planning Working Group (infra-dmp),
Last year, we invited the engineering communities to topical community meetings, six in total. Starting with 2024, we switch from topical to "arche-topical" community meetings, representing the NFDI4Ing archetypes. We kick things off with BETTY, our archetype focused on engineering
To fight the reproducibility crisis in science, the NFDI4Ing task area ALEX is developing PlotSerializer - a Python package for serializing scientific diagrams from popular libraries like matplotlib to json.
The NFDI4Ing Metadata Profile Service is a platform that facilitates creation, curation and sharing of metadata profiles. The profiles are based on the W3C recommendation SHACL and can be created in a graphical user interface by selecting suitable terms from
Ideally, researchers can incorporate existing, established and tested research software into their own work. BETTY tries to help researchers in finding existing software suitable for their needs, developing new software, and publishing software artifacts in a sustainable and reproducible way.
