NFDI-MatWerk

How can research data management strengthen scientific work across disciplines? 📊🔍 At the BdT PhD Seminar during #MaterialsWeek2025 in Frankfurt, early-career researchers discussed data strategies that support reproducibility, collaboration, and long-term value. Initiated by the project Biologisierung der Technik – Biologization of Technology, the seminar was held in collaboration with @Platform MaterialDigital . NFDI-MatWerk actively contributed through keynote talks by Steffen Brinckmann, Leonid Gerdt and Ebrahim Norouzi, highlighting practical aspects of data planning, metadata, and Electronic Lab Notebooks (ELNs). From foundational concepts to applied tools, the sessions offered a compact introduction to RDM for experimental and modeling researchers. 📄 Full recap: https://ow.ly/aOkm50VzYxN #PhD | #ResearchDataManagement | #MaterialsScience | #OpenScience | #Digitalization | #NFDI-MatWerk

Creep testing is applied since many, many years to evaluate component lifetime under mechanical loading at elevated temperatures. One of the drawbacks of creep testing is its costliness and the limited options for shortening test times. Hence, creep data are among the particularly valuable material properties – and therefore a very good example for the many benefits of digitaly available data records. Lately a publication is available that provides comprehensive metadata and test results of constant force creep tests according to DIN EN ISO 204:2019-4 giving us a very valuable insight into a detailed breakdown of data types, data structuring and semantic descriptions: https://lnkd.in/eWYiwzke If you are interested to see more examples or share your own experiences on structured data management, developing digital workflows, or navigating the data challenges of your research and search for opportunities to discuss current „stumbling blocks“ or opportunities join us at the MSE Research Data Forum 2025 from 8 - 10 July in Siegburg organized by German Society for Materials Science - Deutsche Gesellschaft für Materialkunde e.V. (DGM) within the activities of NFDI-Matwerk. More information on: https://lnkd.in/eMzJgA8u #LightAtWork #MaterialsScience #Digitalization #NFDI #RDM

From 31 March to 02 April, around 70 contributors from all Task Areas, partner institutions, Participant Projects (PPs), and Infrastructure Use Cases (IUCs) came together – to reflect, challenge assumptions, and move forward.   Highlights included:  • Concrete technical solutions presented in a demonstrator pitch session – and questioned from a user’s point of view • Breakout sessions focused on preparing roll-out-ready tools for the community • Strategic planning on how to align expertise, infrastructure, and expectations for the next funding phase   The conversations were honest, hands-on, and centred on what researchers really need. 👉 Curious how NFDI-MatWerk is helping to shape digital research infrastructures for materials science and engineering?

We are pleased to inform you that the Physical Sciences Joint Colloquium will continue in 2025. We therefore cordially invite you to the first lecture: On 17 March 2025 at 11 a.m., Prof. Sören Auer from TIB – Leibniz-Informationszentrum Technik und Naturwissenschaften und Universitätsbibliothek will begin with his lecture "From Research Data towards Leveraging AI for Research". Further information and registration: https://bit.ly/3EEBFwI The Physical Sciences Joint Colloquium is a joint series of the NFDI consortia NFDI4Chem, NFDI for Catalysis-Related Sciences - NFDI4Cat, FAIRmat, NFDI-MatWerk, DAPHNE4NFDI, Punch4NFDI & MaRDI German National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI)

🚀 𝗦𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗠𝗶𝗱𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗺 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗗𝗲𝗳𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗡𝗙𝗗𝗜-𝗠𝗮𝘁𝗪𝗲𝗿𝗸! On Tuesday, 11 February, NFDI-MatWerk successfully defended its project’s midterm report in front of reviewers, the NFDI expert panel, and representatives of the DFG. Chris Eberl, Tilmann Hickel, Martina Zimmermann, Harald Sack, and Marius Politze represented the consortium in a presentation followed by a poster session, engaging in discussions on community engagement, user-centric development, success metrics, data quality, and sustainability. NFDI-MatWerk presented in the same session as Daphne4NFDI and FAIRmat. The feedback was very positive, with no critical concerns raised. The broad range of activities, particularly in the Infrastructure Use Cases, and the clear strategic direction of the Task Areas were recognized as key strengths. This success was only possible through the dedication of the entire NFDI-MatWerk team — thank you to everyone who contributed! With this momentum, the focus now shifts to the follow-up proposal, an important next step for the future of NFDI-MatWerk. #NFDIMatWerk #Research #OpenData #MaterialsScience #ScientificCollaboration #RDM #FAIR #Daphne4NFDI #FAIRmat

Ohne langfristige, mutige #Investitionen in #Bildung und #Forschung stehen Innovations- und Zukunftsfähigkeit des deutschen Wissenschaftssystems auf dem Spiel. Daher fordert das neue Impulspapier der DFG für 10 Handlungsfelder wichtige wissenschaftspolitische Weichenstellungen, um die internationale Wettbewerbsfähigkeit der erkenntnisgeleiteten Forschung und des Wissenschaftssystems zu stärken. Für die nächste #Bundesregierung muss ein stabiles, optimal ausfinanziertes Wissenschaftssystem hohe Priorität haben. Das ganze Papier zum Nachlesen: ⬇️ 

Successful Workshop about LLMs in Scientific Publishing More than 60 experts from academia, publishing houses and AI software industry came together on 11 February, 2025, at the DIPF | Leibniz-Institut für Bildungsforschung und Bildungsinformation, to discuss chances, concerns and challenges of LLMs in the academic publishing process.  The keynote speakers Sandra Geisler (RWTH) and Markus Kaindl (Springer Nature) gave an overview of the recent developments, current use and visions about AI in the manuscript creation and publishing. Startups pitched their tools developed to support researchers and publishers (World Brain Scholar, scienceOS, ChatAI, Visual Abstract). In Breakout sessions, perspectives from the researcher’s and publisher’s perspectives were discussed, the latter one greatly moderated by Wendy Patterson (Beilstein-Institut). In the final discussion chaired by @Philippe Genet (Deutsche Nationalbibliothek) both perspectives were brought together and agreed upon a supportive role of AI tools for human expertise rather than being a replacement. Together with 5 other consortia (KonsortSWD – NFDI4Society, NFDI-MatWerk, NFDI4Earth, NFDI4DS und #Text+) NFDI4Chem organised this platform for exchange and networking. Specifically, NFDI4Chem was able to add contacts and expertise from the publishing houses into the workshop, due to the already established format Editors4Chem. https://lnkd.in/eTt5YjQh
