On 26th June 2020, the Federal Government and the federal states approved in the frameworks of the Joint Science Conference (GWK) the funding of nine consortia withing the National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI).
Apl. Prof. Bernd Flemisch, member of the Department of Hydromechanics and Modelling of Hydrosystems, was closely involved in the successful proposal for the consortium "NFDI4Ing - National Research Data Infrastructure for the Engineering Sciences". Withing the the first out of three funding periods, the GWK approved the funding of nine consortia. These nine consortia are expected to promote significantly the establishment of a national data management.
Bernd Flemisch commented after the announcement of the funding: “I am very pleased about the positive decision by the GWK to support the ‘NFDI4Ing’ consortium. As a co-applicant institution, we can contribute our FDM expertise built up over several years of cooperation between researchers and infrastructure partners, and further strengthen the Stuttgart Competence Center for Research Data Management ‘FoKUS’. It is my goal to inspire as many engineers in Stuttgart as possible about the variety of measures of the NFDI4Ing in pilot projects, in order to enable all scientists in the long term to understand and track engineering research processes. The task area ‘Research Engineering Software’, which I coordinate, is particularly well suited for this purpose in the environment of our two Clusters of Excellence. As an official participant of the consortium, the SFB 1313 will contribute pilot use cases and thereby improve the measures in its data and software management strategy.“
