The
development of the NFDI4Earth is driven by the researchers’ needs and
requirements for research data management according to the FAIR principles. NFDI4Earth uses Earth System Science Pilots to engage the community. These pilots stem from different domains of the ESS community, manifest the
researchers’ needs and are the community’s contribution to an agile development
of the NFDI4Earth. Pilots typically run for one year and are collected
from an open call.
The third Pilot Call is now officially closed. We received 24 outstanding proposals, each demonstrating exceptional quality and innovation.
After a thorough and careful selection process, the Pilot projects have been chosen. We extend our thanks to everyone who submitted a proposal. The high quality of submissions this year made the selection process particularly challenging. The selected pilots will be introduced on this website soon.
If you have any questions, please contact the coordination office of pilot projects nfdi4earth-pilots@tu-dresden.de. For contact persons of specific pilots see descriptions below.
In the second round 7 pilots out of 29 submissions were selected and are running between September 2023 - September 2024.
