In order to provide better support to researchers, NFDI consortia from the geosciences, chemistry, and life sciences are intensifying their collaboration.

Helpdesk Collaboration Promotes Interdisciplinary Research

Research questions are often not easily assigned to a single discipline, or extend across multiple domains. In the Geo-Chem-Life Science Helpdesk Cluster, which was formalised in March 2025 through a joint Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), ten NFDI consortia from the geosciences, chemistry, and life sciences are coming together to guide researchers to the relevant experts and provide cross-disciplinary support in data management issues.

Participating Consortia:
DataPLANT | Spokesperson: Dirk von Suchodoletz
FAIRagro | Spokesperson: Frank Ewert
GHGA | Spokesperson: Oliver Stegle
NFDI4Biodiversity | Spokesperson: Frank Oliver Glöckner
NFDI4BioImage | Spokesperson: Stefanie Weidtkamp-Peters
NFDI4Chem | Spokespersons: Christoph Steinbeck & Oliver Koepler
NFDI4Earth | Spokesperson: Lars Bernard
NFDI4Health | Spokespersons: Juliane Fluck & Iris Pigeot
NFDI4Immuno | Spokesperson: Christian Busse
