NFDI4Microbiota is one life science consortium under the German National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI) Association. A focus of the consortium is the democratization of access to data and workflows for the microbiology field. Training and education, as well as building a knowledge base, for topics related to this field, are some of the means for achieving these goals. This talk was originally given at the 2nd NFDI4Microbiota annual conference (in 2023). It gives an overview of the overall goals regarding training and education within NFDI4Microbiota, as well as details on the first steps we have taken to reach these goals. Furthermore, we introduce the NFDI4Microbiota Knowledge Base as part of our education efforts.
