From May 26–30, 2025, we will participate in the annual Spring Meeting of the European Materials Research Society (E-MRS), held at the Convention & Exhibition Centre in Strasbourg, France. The conference will feature invited speakers across 23 parallel symposia, providing an international forum to discuss recent advances in materials science.
This year, you can find us at booth no. 35—stop by to learn more about FAIR data principles and the NOMAD infrastructure, and don’t miss the talks by our team members:
- NOMAD: A Federated Research Data Infrastructure Transforming Materials Science Laboratories by José A. Márquez Prieto – May 27, 10:30-11:00
- A Federated Research Data Infrastructure for Next-Generation Solar Cell Materials by Hampus Näsström – May 29, 09:15-09:30
Materials Design Using Chemical Heuristics, Workflows, and Machine Learning
The lecture explores how bonding and local atomic environments serve as key descriptors in materials design and machine learning. Dr. Janine George will present tools like ChemEnv and LobsterEnv that enable automated bonding analysis and help develop new machine-learning models and intuitive understandings of material properties. The talk will highlight advances in machine-learned potentials such as MACE-MP-0, their integration with DFT, and the broader trend toward automation in computational materials science.
You can attend the seminar in person at the Center for the Science of Materials Berlin or participate online. Online participation requires registration.
The entire FAIRmat team gathers twice a year for the internal FAIRmat Project Meeting to discuss progress and upcoming tasks across all seven areas. The first Project Meeting of 2025 will take place in June at our headquarters in Berlin.
Next August, FAIRmat will participate in the 7th general conference of the worldwide Psi-k community at the SwissTech Convention Center, EPFL. We are honored to contribute to this major conference on electronic structure. Stay tuned for event updates!
We are delighted to participate in the second Conference on Research Data Infrastructure (CoRDI), taking place from August 26 to 28, 2025, at RWTH Aachen University.
Organized by our umbrella organization, Nationale Forschungsdateninfrastruktur (NFDI) e.V., CoRDI’s main mission is to advance knowledge through better use of research data. The call for contributions is open until April 29, 2025, so don’t miss the chance to submit your abstracts and meet us in Aachen!
