Valuable resources of unstructured data such as text, images, audio, and video datasets support researchers to enhance existing knowledge in business, economics, and social sciences.
BERD@NFDI provides the opportunity to reuse existing data and enhance its impact in generating new knowledge in a wide variety of research fields in social science. At BERD@NFDI, existing data can make an impact that can go further than the initial collection purpose: A clear sign for sustainable science.
Driven by the idea of open science at the intersection of publicly funded research and private for-profit implementation of new business ideas, building connections between two worlds can power innovation for everyone.
BERD@NFDI provides the platform for successful cooperation between companies and research teams by providing a secure data marketplace for controlled data exchange. Interoperability with established open-source projects enables the integration of reliable tools to disrupt science with FAIR principles.
From a scattered landscape of (big) data sources to a unified approach without compromising independence. A public directory creates transparency keeping unique capabilities of research groups and infrastructure.
Together with strong international partners, BERD@NFDI builds on top of trusted entities within the scientific realm. Universities and dedicated research centers combine their forces to create a new platform to increase reach and relevance.
As part of the national research data infrastructure (NFDI), BERD connects FAIR principles of data sharing and exchange and contributes to achieving a widely supported goal as a part of a larger development.
