FDM for Sustainable Value Creation

• Jarves is a digital FDM assistant developed by the NFDI4Ing consortium for research in the engineering sciences.
• NOMAD is a web-based, open-source software for managing research data, specifically for the materials sciences
• Betty’s (Re)Searchengine is a search engine for research software.
• Material Hub is a platform that allows users to publish and search extensive data on materials free of charge.
• Materials Guide helps users search for materials science databases with filter options based on material class and access options.
• The FD Policy Generator helps you create a research data policy for your research project. You’ll be guided through a short questionnaire—based on your answers, the FD Policy Generator generates text modules that you can then use for your project’s internal research data policy.
