An Interest Group can be initiated by at least 6 persons from at least 3 different organisations. IG members do not need to be members of the NFDI4Earth consortium. Therefore, external contributors are highly welcome! Following an open community process, the IGs shall be open for new members, which commit themselves to the IGs’ objectives.
Please submit your application by describing your ...
Your application will be evaluated by the NFDI4Earth Steering Group and cmust be confirmed by the NFDI4Earth plenary.
As soon as your IG is confirmed, you need to elect a spokesperson and his/her representative.
An NFDI4Earth IG can be temporary or permanent. However, the NFDI Steering Group reviews the activities of each NFDI4Earth IG on a yearly basis and may close an IG in case of inactivity or activities contradicting with overall NFDI4Earth goals and vision.
NFDI4Earth IGs can contribute to NFDI4Earth in manifold ways (see “What is a NFDI4Earth Interest Group?”). In particular, IGs are entitled to submit proposals to the NFDI4Earth Steering Group, in order to address particular requests concerning the NFDI4Earth development (e.g. for support of specific domain specific requirements, development of specific standards or their adoption etc.). The NFDI4Earth Steering Group decides upon adoption based on feasibility and relevance.
NFDI4Earth IGs are comprised of experts from the co-applicants and participants and also, if advisable because of technical or functional capabilities, additional guests.
The NFDI4Earth project supports its IGs by providing communication facilities (virtual meetings, mailing list, web space etc.) to facilitate their daily work and to ensure proper communication, and by exposing the IGs work in the community through the invitation to participate in events, e.g., the annual plenary meeting. Additional support can be made available upon request - contact Daniel (
