About us
NFDI4Objects is a multidisciplinary consortium within the National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI).
NFDI4Objects is aimed at researchers, practitioners and students whose interests focus on the material heritage of around three million years of human and environmental history and addresses the challenges of modern research data infrastructures.
Our consortium was created in a bottom-up process and was finally approved in March 2023 by the German Research Foundation (DFG) as a project within the funding of the National Research Data Infrastructure agreed in the agreement between the federal and state governments, with a term of five years.
We have developed our tasks and goals in close cooperation with various professional associations. A needs assessment in the communities, in which more than 650 people participated, the basis for our current work programme. As a community-driven project, we consistently align our work with the needs of our users. Therefore, we attach great importance to a close connection to our community and the active participation of all interested parties. NFDI4Objects is also part of the NFDI e.V. association.
