Data-Driven Materials Informatics Statistical Methods and Mathematical Analysis
IMSI Long Program
DATE: March 4 - May 24, 2024

The aim of this program is to bring together a diverse scientific audience, both between scientific fields (physical sciences, materials sciences, biophysics, etc) and within mathematics (mathematical modeling, numerical analysis, statistics and data analysis, etc), to make progress on key questions of materials informatics. Applications received by January 1, 2023 will be given first priority for consideration.

FAIR Data Principles in Physical Sciences in NFDI - Workshop on use cases and FAIR data
Workshop
DATE: April 26, 2024 TIME: 13:00-15:00 CEST
LOCATION: Online

We are happy to announce our next workshop on use cases in the NFDI, presented by Physical Sciences in NFDI (PSinNFDI).

While different disciplines experience different challenges in establishing the FAIR principles for research data, there are also many similar approaches and solutions. In this workshop, we will present examples of use cases highlighting those common concepts, tools, and software that exploit workflows to achieve FAIR data across scientific disciplines. FAIR data does not start in a repository, but needs to be established already during the data generation within a research process. Hence, we invite you to join us in exploring tools and approaches to create FAIR workflows with fascinating use cases from:

 

  • PUNCH4NFDI: Curating Data Flows: Leveraging REANA for Reproducible Analyses of Dimensionality Reduction Workflows
  • NFDI-MatWerk: Creating and running automated workflows for material science simulations
  • DAPHNE4NFDI: Overarching Data Management Ecosystem HELIPORT

FAIRmat Tutorial 13: NOMAD for Experimental Data Management in Synthesis
Tutorial
DATE: May 15, 2024 TIME: 13:00-16:00 CEST
LOCATION: Online

FAIRmat Tutorial 13, presented by FAIRmat Area A Synthesis, introduces NOMAD and NOMAD Oasis as essential tools for research data management (RDM). This tutorial will specifically demonstrate how to utilize these tools for managing experimental materials science data, with a particular focus on synthesis data.

 

Participants will learn about NOMAD's versatile data model, which ensures data interoperability, and its various types and levels of schemas, including custom yaml schemas, community standards, plugins, and BaseSections. The tutorial will also cover the integration of NOMAD with Electronic Lab Notebooks (ELNs) to enhance data documentation and management.

 

A practical session will guide users through a typical synthesis data example, demonstrating how to start from NOMAD's built-in ELNs, develop a data schema, convert it into a NOMAD plugin for automated data processing, and deploy the schema on a local NOMAD Oasis. This hands-on approach will provide invaluable insights into customizing NOMAD to fit specific experimental workflows.

 

The session is designed to serve various user groups, including standard users, data stewards & data scientists, and system administrators, ensuring that each participant gains a comprehensive understanding of the tool's capabilities and applications in their respective roles. Join us to explore how NOMAD can transform your approach to data management in experimental synthesis, leading to more efficient and coherent research outputs - FAIR principles in practice.

Fourth FAIRmat Users Meeting
Meeting
DATE: June 13-14, 2024
LOCATION: Erlangen and online

We are pleased to announce the fourth FAIRmat Users Meeting, which will take place on June 13-14, 2024 at the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) in Erlangen and online. All scientists in the field of physics and chemistry of condensed matter are invited to this public workshop about Research Data Management (RDM) concepts and solutions. The program includes talks by RDM experts and researchers who use the NOMAD data infrastructure to manage their research data. It also comprises a series of mini-workshops on RDM best practices and the solutions developed by FAIRmat. We have identified five focus topics that will be presented in consecutive workshops:

  • RDM design for collaborative research centers
  • Getting started with NOMAD and NOMAD Oasis
  • NOMAD Oasis for advanced users
  • Data literacy in the physics curriculum
  • NOMAD CAMELS as an efficient tool for RDM-compliant experiments

They are designed for all levels of users, from beginners to advanced, and include lectures, hands-on exercises, and user experience reports.

18th ICC -International Congress on Catalysis
Conference
DATE: July 14-19, 2024
LOCATION: Lyon, France

The 18th International Congress on Catalysis will be held in Lyon, France, from July 14-19, 2024. As digitization has far-reaching implications for methodologies and workflows, also in catalysis research, a symposium will be dedicated to this topic and the need for FAIR data.

It will provide an opportunity to discuss the potential of digitalization in catalysis in all its aspects, including standardization of catalysis data, data sharing and curation, catalysis informatics, community-driven infrastructure, and digital research. The aim is to show a viable path for a digital transition for the community, both from an experimental and a theoretical perspective.
