Our vision is to create a Helmholtz data space unifying Earth and Environmental Centres and infrastructures, powering a new wave of large-scale, globally oriented, data-driven research.

The FAIR Data Space (HFDS) is a “decentralized infrastructure for trustworthy data sharing and exchange in data ecosystems based on commonly agreed principles“ (Nagel L., Lycklama D., 2021). [Suggestion DK: The Helmholtz FAIR Data Space..]

Our mission is to federate the (meta)data systems Earth and Environment Centers and infrastructures throughout the Helmholtz Association, continuously aligning Helmholtz capacities to global norms and developments.
