The NFDI4Biodiversity Helpdesk is the central point of contact for all questions relating to biodiversity, data management and the use of our services - and a unique opportunity to obtain advice directly from the experts in our large network. Contacting us is very easy: Questions can be submitted to www.nfdi4biodiversity.org/helpdesk and addressed directly to our helpdesk team.

This short animated film explains the wide range of topics that can be addressed to the colleagues working for the helpdesk:

Behind the helpdesk we have a team of experienced employees from the NFDI4Biodiversity network. They specialize in different areas such as data management, biodiversity research and technical support. The team works closely together to offer fast and effective solutions and, if necessary, to call in experts from the wider network.

The helpdesk is open to anyone who works with or is interested in biodiversity data. This includes researchers, students, teachers as well as civil society and private sector actors working with biodiversity, ecology or environmental data.
