We are pleased to inform you that “Landesinitiative Forschungsdatenmanagement Niedersachsen” – FDM-NDS is announcing the FAIR Data and Software Award Lower Saxony 2024 in Lower Saxony for the first time! This is your chance for recognition and a prize of 3.000 € – submit your entries by 4 August 2024!

Wanted are published datasets and software that adhere to the FAIR principles or the FAIR4ResearchSoftware principles. Submissions from all disciplines are welcome – whether from the humanities and social sciences, life sciences, natural sciences, or engineering. Show them your outstanding data and software projects!

In the words of FDM-NDS patron, Prof. Dr. York Sure-Vetter:

“FAIR data publications and software releases pave the way for greater insights and excellent science. We can only realize the vision of more effective research data management if a comprehensive cultural shift is achieved. The FAIR Data and Software Award addresses this very point. I look forward to many valuable submissions.”
