To strengthen European-wide open science, NFDI4Immuno and other NFDI consortia staffed a booth at the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) Symposium 2026 in Florence. The main goal was to connect Europe’s research infrastructure. Main parts of the EOSC federation are the 28 different Nodes that provide access to data, computing resources and to already 120 scientific services. An exciting possibility to make European Research FAIR. That why, NFDI4Immuno contributes to the EOSC Node Germany to further connect Germany’s Research Data Infrastructure. Together with partners and friends from other NFDI consortia we represented the EOSC Germany Node with a booth. It

NFDI4Immuno will be represented at the 55th Annual Meeting of the German Society for Immunology (DGfI) from the 15th-18th of September 2026 at the TU Munich. You can meet us at booth C16, right next to the Audimax. Talk to our experts in person and meet respresentatives of our team also at the Young Immunologists Mentoring Café on Tuesday, 15th September.We are looking forward to meeting you and talking about a FAIR future for immunological data.

NFDI4Immuno participated in the International Biocuration Conference in Cape Town, a specialist meeting that aligns closely with our mission in data standardisation, biocuration, and FAIR immunological data. Our representative delivered a talk on our current work, which prompted several questions during the session and led to in-depth follow-up conversations with participants afterwards. These interactions with experts from leading international institutes underscored the relevance of NFDI4Immuno’s activities and opened up promising perspectives for future collaborations and broader community engagement

As part of our activites after the BioMed workshop, the members of the BioMed Interest Group – NFDI4Health, NFDI4Microbiota, NFDI4Bioimage, GHGA, and NFDI4Immuno – represent their offers in an unified way. This makes it easier for users to get an overview of the various resources and offers relating to biomedical data that we, as interest group, provide. More joint activities regarding FAIR data in biomedical research will follow!

The NFDI BioMed in-person workshop, attended by the NFDI4Health, GHGA, NFDI4Microbiota, NFDI4BioImage, and NFDI4Immuno consortia, focused on the future of our services in the field of biomedical data and how we can align our outreach strategies. In an earlier strategy meeting, NFDI executives set common goals and future activities for the NFDI BioMed network. This was followed by a discussion on how we can combine our services and strengths to create the most user-friendly offerings for people working with biomedical data. We identified similarities and unique features of our consortia in terms of websites, metadata, training, help desks, and services.

We are proud to present our new webpage: Explore the project, data portal and analysis tools for AIRRseq-data. Get to know the whole team and its activities. Contact us in case of questions and feedback.

In November 2024, over 50 experts from five NFDI consortia—GHGA, NFDI4BIOIMAGE, NFDI4Health, NFDI4Immuno, and NFDI4Microbiota—gathered in Heidelberg for the first NFDI BioMed workshop. The event focused on aligning key concepts in biomedical research data management and identifying practical areas for collaboration. Highlights included in-depth sessions on data models, infrastructure, regulations, and training, as well as a Barcamp format that produced nine actionable use cases. Several discussions have already led to active working groups within the initiative.
