We are happy to announce the workshop on use cases in NFDI, presented by Physical Sciences in NFDI (PSinNFDI).
While different challenges can arise for research data management in different disciplines, FAIR and standardized data are always of great importance. Similar approaches and solutions can be shared and adapted across domains.
This workshop will showcase selected use cases from the physical sciences that demonstrate how FAIR principles can be effectively implemented in practice. The session will highlight innovative tools, software solutions, and services that support sustainable and standardized research data management with fascinating use cases from:
-
Dr. Lukas Pielsticker (FAIRmat) – Standardization of experimental data using NeXus
-
Dr. Hubert Simma (PUNCH4NFDI) – FAIR data for lattice gauge theory and beyond
-
Dr. Alexander Sommer-Behr (NFDI4Cat) – KGLit4Cat: Automated, ontology-based creation of knowledge graphs from literature with NLP
We are pleased to announce the eighth FAIRmat Users Meeting, which will take place at the Center for the Science of Materials Berlin (CSMB) on June 16–17, 2026.
The FAIRmat Users Meeting brings together scientists and data stewards in physics, chemistry, and materials science interested in practical research data management (RDM) and FAIR data practices using NOMAD.
The program will feature an overview of recent FAIRmat developments and new NOMAD features, followed by hands-on sessions focused on practical RDM implementation. The first day will conclude with the Users-Meet-Developers exhibit, an open forum to present your work, exchange ideas, and interact directly with NOMAD developers.
On the second day, NOMAD users will share their experiences and best practices for managing, sharing, and analyzing research data using the NOMAD ecosystem.
Full event information is available on our website.
The entire FAIRmat team gathers twice a year for the internal FAIRmat Project Meeting to focus on project updates, strategic planning, collaboration opportunities, and discussions on future directions.
The final Project Meeting of FAIRmat’s first funding period will take place from June 17 to 19, 2026, at our headquarters in Berlin.
