NFDI4Energy is a community-driven initiative that aims at building an Open Ecosystem for FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) Research Artefacts in Energy Systems Research. The goal is to establish a sustainable, transparent, and reproducible research infrastructure that supports the entire research and transfer cycle. This cycle encompasses everything from identifying relevant competencies and defining research scenarios to integrating models, publishing results, and identifying new research questions.
The key focus areas of NFDI4Energy are centered on the creation of a shared research services for FAIR data, software, and processes. These services aim not only to encourage its use within the scientific community but also to enhance the traceability, reproducibility, and transparency of research outcomes for both the scientific community and society at large. Additionally, NFDI4Energy seeks to foster collaboration between research institutions and industry partners while also facilitating greater societal engagement in research.
A fundamental component of NFDI4Energy is the development of an open and FAIR service portfolio that supports a wide range of workflows—from data collection to integration into research software. By providing best practices, competence centers, registries, and simulation tools, we are building services that enable the practical application of research findings and contributes to shaping the future of interdisciplinary energy system research.
