TRAILs (Task Related Activities for Implementation and Launch of Services) are the pilot projects in NFDI4Objects.

Various institutions are involved in these pilots, which receive funding from NFDI4Objects for a clearly defined research objective over a fixed term. The aim of the TRAILS in NFDI4Objects is to contribute to a broad, sustainable and innovative development of the consortium and to clearly specify the work programme.

For the first round of TRAILS, there was an open call for concepts during the application phase of NFDI4Objecst at the German Research Foundation (DFG). Of all the applications, 19 TRAILS were selected and integrated into the work programme.

The next call for a second round of TRAILS will start in 2025 and we would like to offer our community another opportunity to participate in the consortium work. During the second call for TRAILS, organisations can present their own innovative project proposals and thus drive the expansion of NFDI4Objects.

You can find an overview of our current TRAILS, the responsible contact persons and the participating institutions in our portal.
