Base4NFDI consists of four Task Areas (TA1 - TA4) and seven Service Stewards (SER). Each Task Area has three Co-Spokespersons, who together form the executive Management Committee (MC). Each Co-Spokesperson employs one staff position. TA4 employs one additional staff position and one executive manager (Najla Rettberg) and nominates the coordinator (Lars Bernard).
Service Stewards support the basic service development, whereas Section Liaison Officers (part of TA3) support NFDI Sections to prepare basic service proposals.
The Technical Expert Committee (TEC) evaluates basic service proposals. The International Advisory Board (IAB) advises Base4NFDI on strategy.

Our project has evolved beyond fixed task areas to work through cross-cutting Strategic Task Forces. This shift allows us to address topics more efficiently, break down silos, and bring the right expertise together — wherever it's needed, whenever it matters.
