%X Neuroscience is a highly heterogeneous discipline where specialized subdisciplines investigate the nervous system from various perspectives, using molecular, cellular, systems, clinical, and computational approaches. This diversity is paired with the demand to re-use valuable empirical data, to integrate and compare data across scales and modalities, and to strengthen the reproducibility of neuroscience research. Therefore, it is increasingly important to provide infrastructural support for the data management tasks of neuroscientists, ranging from large-scale infrastructures to concrete data management solutions that are established in the individual laboratories. In Germany, supported by three major neuroscience communities, NFDI Neuroscience [1] responded to the call of the DFG funding agency for consortia proposals to build a national infrastructure for research data (Nationale Forschungsdateninfrastruktur, NFDI). NFDI Neuroscience focuses on the formation and empowerment of a community for competent research data management. It will assist neuroscientists in practically performing the digital transformation, efficiently managing their everyday data workflows in the laboratory and fulfilling current and future open data requirements for data handling, processing and storage according to the FAIR principles (https://www.force11.org/fairprinciples). A core element in the process of building the NFDI Neuroscience community will be working groups, in which users and service providers join in developing solutions to identified needs. In this presentation, we will discuss the core ideas, structures, and instruments behind the NFDI Neuroscience consortium and illustrate its approach based on data management challenges in electrophysiology [2].[1] Wachtler, T., Bauer, P., Denker, M., Grün, S., Hanke, M., Klein, J., Oeltze-Jafra, S., Ritter, P., Rotter, S., Scherberger, H., Stein, A., Witte, O.W., 2021.
