Overview
As an Academy fellow, you will benefit from tailored training courses (e.g., summer schools, workshops, and seminars designed by peers and organized by us), networking beyond institutional boundaries and events to foster interdisciplinary research & projects. Further, fellows and their projects will have a high visibility in and support from the NFDI4Earth community. They will have the opportunity to participate in a broad range of external training offers, such as the Helmholtz Academy for Information and Data Science (HIDA) or DataTrain (Uni Bremen Research Alliance). With the Academy, we offer an open science and learning environment.

Academy fellows can advance their current research projects by exploring and integrating new methods and connecting with like-minded scientists in an agile, bottom-up, and peer-mentored community. Using the established structures of our three research networks (Geo.X, DAM and Geoverbund ABC/J), our program combines various virtual, hybrid and in-person events. By taking advantage of on-site resources, we can provide support for essential in-person events and meetings for networking. Thus, we explicitly invite all early career scientists in the German Earth System and Data Sciences community to join us.

Our first Cohort started in November 2022. We are very thankful to the members of our scientific selection committee for their commitment and engagement: Georg Bareth (Universität zu Köln), Wolfgang zu Castell (Deutsches GeoForschungsZentrum), Fabian Gans (Max-Planck-Institut für Biogeochemie), Jens Greinert (GEOMAR), Dominik Hezel (Goethe-Universität Frankfurt), Nicole Richter (RWTH Aachen), Márk Somogyvári (Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin), Jana de Wiljes (Universität Potsdam), Oliver Zielinski (Universität Oldenburg)
The call for our second Cohort will be open in Autumn 2023, so stay tuned!
