The goal of DAPHNE4NFDI is to create a comprehensive infrastructure to process research data from large scale photon and neutron infrastructures. A project of this scale needs a reliable infrastructure to ensure communication, data exchange and publishing of the results. Therefore, DAPHNE4NFDI became the second major HIFIS user among the NFDI consortia.

[DAPHNE4NFDI](https://www.daphne4nfdi.de/english/index.php)(**DA**ta from **PH**oton and **N**eutron **E**xperiments for NFDI) is one of 19 consortia receiving funding as part of the [German National Research Data Infrastructure](https://www.nfdi.de/?lang=en)(NFDI).
The aim of DAPHNE4NFDI is to create a comprehensive infrastructure to process research data from large scale photon and neutron infrastructures according to the [FAIR principles](https://www.go-fair.org/fair-principles/)(Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable).
Uniquely, DAPHNE4NFDI engages directly with the user community to develop user-driven data solutions and infrastructure for the wider photon and neutron community.
Hence, the DAPHNE4NFDI consortium consists of experts from [Committee Research with Synchrotron Radiation](https://www.sni-portal.de/en/user-committees/committee-research-with-synchrotron-radiation)(KFS) and [Committee Research with Neutrons](https://www.sni-portal.de/en/user-committees/committee-research-with-neutrons)(KFN), experts from the different science fields and techniques at universities, research institutes and large-scale facilities, and strongly interacts also with other NFDI consortia.
## DAPHNE4NFDI becomes second major HIFIS user among NFDI consortia
A project of this scale needs a reliable infrastructure to ensure communication, data exchange and publishing of the results.
Therefore, DAPHNE4NFDI contacted HIFIS and became their second major user among the NFDI consortia after [PUNCH4NFDI]({% post_url 2022/2022-06-28-use-case-PUNCH %}).
At this point, DAPHNE4NFDI makes use of a [Virtual Organization](https://hifis.net/doc/helmholtz-aai/howto-vos/)(VO) to organize access rights for services like [Sync & Share](https://helmholtz.cloud/services?serviceDetails=svc-6dd798c4-72cc-4661-aae8-f47a1f3852ce).
Events are organized by the consortium using [HIFIS Events](https://helmholtz.cloud/services?serviceDetails=svc-ec78dddd-f44b-4062-a1a1-ba9c0ddaa70b) and communication among project participants was made available via [Mattermost](https://helmholtz.cloud/services?serviceDetails=svc-1be91786-b7e7-4fa3-81d9-1b95dd03cd52).
Recently, DAPHNE4NFDI opened up a group in [Helmholtz Codebase](https://helmholtz.cloud/services?serviceDetails=svc-c5d1516e-ffd2-42ae-b777-e891673fcb32) to collaborate and build software within the different task areas of the project to later make it available to the community.
