NFDI

Die Gemeinsame Wissenschaftskonferenz (#GWK) hat in ihrer heutigen Sitzung eine neue Bund-Länder-Vereinbarung (BLV) beschlossen. Diese regelt die Finanzierung sowie die zukünftige Ausgestaltung von #NFDI ab 2029. Bund und Länder wollen NFDI mit bis zu rund 98,7 Millionen Euro pro Jahr im Zeitraum von 2029 bis 2038 weiterfördern. 🎉

Danke an alle, die uns unterstützt haben!
