The Thematic Digital Competence Centre (TDCC) for the Natural & Engineering Sciences (NES) is a network organisation that brings together researchers, local DCC’s and other research support staff, infrastructure providers, knowledge and expertise networks, as well as other strategic initiatives within the NES domain.
The aim of the TDCC-NES is to ensure researchers and support staff have the competencies, the services, and the tools necessary to manage data and software in a FAIR manner, by identifying challenges that are common across multiple institutions and initiating collaborative projects to mitigate them.
