The NFDI4Ing consortium has been founded in 2017. As one important step, NFDI4Ing has taken on the task of identifying and harmonising specific, data-generating engineering activities. The consortium's work programme has a modular structure and is characterised by the introduction of method-oriented archetypes. In close collaboration with users from the engineering sciences, subject-specific use cases are continuously expanded along research processes. NFDI4Ing has three community-related priorities: providing training and ensuring data literacy from the very beginning, nurturing technological solutions and methods, and fostering data governance and curation
