NFDI4Earth Pilots 2020

NFDI4Earth starts with running 14 Pilots, which are collected from an open call and reviewed in an open process. The NFDI4Earth co-applicants evaluated 38 proposals according to the following equally weighted criteria, scored on a 5 points scale for each criterion:

–

Quality and Innovation (relevance beyond state-of-the-art)
–

Feasibility (leveraging existing technologies)
–

Potential for engaging a broad user community (also potential for linking scientific users and information infrastructures)
–

Potential for integration into the NFDI4Earth (relevance to the NFDI4Earth as whole e.g. in terms of contributing to a measure like education, interoperability, archiving, and clearly addressing relevant aspects of the research data life cycle).
