During her presentation, Hella von Unger highlighted CHANGER objectives and work packages as well as expected outcomes.

About ELSA: The section-ELSA stands for ethical, legal and social aspects that touch on NFDI’s fields of activity. Many of these issues affect several, if not all, NFDI consortia. Data protection and intellectual property rights issues are intruding into the research data cycle. Ethical questions of data use arise with regard to data provenance from indigenous and other societies. And what should social participation in research data look like? ELSA networks the consortia and expert communities to share experiences and develop joint approaches to solutions. ELSA discusses and comments on current legislative proposals that are becoming important for the research data infrastructure. The section sees itself as a forum for consortia and NFDI members from all disciplines.
