German Information Infrastucture for Research Program

Home / CNI News / German Information Infrastucture for Research Program

June 23, 2011

Earlier this week I was fortunate to be able to attend a briefing on a series of awards that the German DFG has made to support information Infrastructure for Research. These are discipline-specific and span the sciences, the social sciences, engineering and the humanities, since the DFG funding scope covers all of these disciplines. This is a very impressive program and I think it will be of interest to many CNI-announce readers, both as an example of a national approach to the challenges of data intensive scholarship, but also as a possible source of future collaborations. The announcement, which links to a number of other documents, can be found at

I am hoping that we may be able to have a session exploring some of these activities at the fall CNI member meeting.
