In November of this year, the joint project FDNext, successor to the FDMenor project, was kicked off. FDNext provides the groundwork for the creation of domain-specific train-the-trainer content for RDM, which will be of use in FAIRmat.

Partners in the joint project are Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin (applying institution of FAIRmat), Freie Universität Berlin, Technische Universität Berlin, Universität Potsdam, Europa-Universität Viadrina Frankfurt (Oder), and Brandenburgische Technische Universität Cottbus-Senftenberg.

The project leader of FDNext is FAIRmat member Malte Dreyer, also FAIRmat member Kerstin Helbig is heavily involved. Both will contribute their expertise to FAIRmat Area F - Task F1: Community Building and Support.
