Buchcover mit Schwarzweißfoto eines Mannes am Schreibtisch, blauer Grund und Schrift
Nicht ohne Grund bezeichnete Karin Hartewig das Ministerium für Staatssicherheit (MfS) einst als „Erichs Fotoladen“. Die zunächst beinahe lapidar wirkende Formulierung erweist sich bei näherer Betrachtung als außerordentlich treffend: Fotografie stellte einen wesentlichen Bestandteil der geheimpolizeilichen Praxis des MfS dar. Als Mittel der Observation, der Informationsspeicherung und nicht zuletzt der Repression entstanden im Laufe der Zeit mehrere Millionen Fotografien.

Call for Contributions to the 3rd Base4NFDI User Conference (UC4B2026)

Keine Kommentare

Background and Scope
Today, research data is still often distributed across numerous repositories, hard to locate, and available only for a limited time. The NFDI seeks to improve the findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reusability (FAIRness) of research data.
Within this framework, Base4NFDI integrates and establishes Basic Services – shared, interoperable solutions that address cross-disciplinary needs. Existing services are being adapted and extended to support researchers from other domains, helping to avoid redundant developments and foster sustainable, community-driven infrastructures. The long-term goal is to shape, together, the evolving service portfolio that Base4NFDI contributes both to the NFDI ecosystem and to the broader RDM landscape together.

The Base4NFDI User Conference (UC4B) has become a central forum for presenting, discussing, and operationalizing current developments in Base4NFDI-funded services, fostering exchange on incubator projects, community integration efforts, and strategic service topics across the NFDI. This year marks the third edition of the conference.
The 2026 program welcomes contributions from across the NFDI and beyond. Members of consortia, sections, working groups, basic service teams, and external initiatives are invited to participate and share their ideas and experiences as well as best practices.
