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
NFDI4Microbiota | Spokespersons: Konrad Förstner & Alice McHardy
