The Temporary Working Groups (TWGs) in NFDI4Objects work on specific and clearly defined tasks for a limited period of time.

They are intended to drive the development of standards and specifications and are developed along thematic lines.

The establishment of a TWG can be initiated based on the needs of the community and/or a task area. On the one hand, they allow the work programme of the task areas to be implemented and, on the other hand, they enable the community clusters to launch their own initiatives that are not yet covered by the consortium’s work programme.

The formation of a TWG must be proposed by at least one co-applicant. The members of a TWG are appointed by the spokesperson following a call for participation. A TWG will be dissolved as soon as the objectives of the initiative have been achieved, if it merges with another TWG or if it has become inactive.

In the spirit of our transparent work, all minutes of the TWGs are made available online and can be commented on.

You can find an overview of our current Temporary Working Groups on our portal. If you are interested in participating, please contact the specified chairs.
