About us
NFDI4Energy is a consortium under the umbrella of the National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI)
dedicated to building an Open Ecosystem for FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) Research Artefacts in Interdisciplinary Energy System Research
The goal of the community-driven initiative NFDI4Energy 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.
- 20+ partners, 1 common goal: FAIR energy research.
- Saving energy twice: in the grid and in research time.
- Our favorite fuel: Collaboration
Lead coordinator
Stephan Ferenz has been part of NFDI4Energy from the very beginning and coordinates the consortium with great commitment as our lead coordinator. Together with the team, he works to provide quick and helpful responses to your requests and to support smooth collaboration within the community.
