From 26 March to 31 March 2023 the DPG Spring Meeting of the Condensed Matter Section (SKM) will take place on the campus of the Technical University Dresden. 

Find FAIRmat at:

• The focus sessions Making Experimental Data F.A.I.R. – New Concepts for Research Data Management (O84/TT56 & O95/TT68)
• the discussion session NFDI and FAIR research data: benefit or burden? (PSV X)
• our exhibition booth!

NOMAD CoE researchers will be present at the focus session Frontiers of Electronic-Structure Theory - Large-scale Calculations Enabled by Sharing Developments and Tools.

This WE-Heraeus-Seminar will bring together researchers at all career stages from experiment, theory, and computer science to discuss digitalization strategies for materials research. The seminar will put a main - but not exclusive - focus on two novel classes of materials: „high entropy alloys” (HEA) and „metal organic frameworks“ (MOFs).

Applications are open until March 12, 2023 on the WE-Heraeus Foundation website.

NVIDIA and the MPCDF are hosting a GPU Bootcamp open to all researchers and code developers of the Max Planck Society. During this online Bootcamp, participants will learn how to apply AI tools, techniques, and algorithms to real-life problems. This online Bootcamp is a hands-on learning experience where you'll be guided by mentors throughout the process.

In June 2023, we will host the workshop and hackathon "Exascale women on stage"! This event is organized by women for women to learn about each others' research, build professional networks, and create a short video series about women working on the exascale. The event is open to all female scientists at all professional levels.

Learn to unleash the power of supercomputers in the CSC Summer School in High Performance Computing 2023. The school is aimed at graduate students working in various fields of science, e.g., chemistry, physics, life sciences, engineering or economics as well as Industrial R&D professionals. Undergraduates as well as post-docs will also find the school very useful.

The ten days of school are filled with coding, sports, leisure activities and having good time together. School consists of lectures and hands-on exercises on LUMI, currently the most powerful supercomputer in Europe. 

Coffee Lecture with Markus Scheidgen (Humboldt University Berlin) in English. An event of the Competence Network Research Data Management at Thuringian Universities.

The aim of this event is to survey the state-of-the-art of theoretical and computational approaches to describe different kinds of excitations (optical, magnetic, vibrational, etc.) in condensed-matter systems, to discuss future perspectives of these methodologies and their applications in different research fields, and to confront advances in theoretical and computational methods with the latest developments in experimental techniques as well as applications.

HoW exciting! 2023 will consist of two closely related events, a hands-on tutorial and an international workshop.

With the first edition of the Conference on Research Data Infrastructure from 12 to 14 September 2023, the Association German National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI) is initiating a conference that will focus on establishing interdisciplinary research data management (RDM). Under the theme Connecting Communities, national and international stakeholders from all research fields as well as from the infrastructure sector are invited to present their contributions to an excellent RDM of the future and to exchange information about the latest developments. NFDI is organizing the conference in cooperation with the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). NFDI contributors as well as all other RDM interested stakeholders will have the opportunity to meet at the KIT South Campus. Over the course of three days, topics related to RDM and the joint development of an effective research data infrastructure for Germany and beyond will be examined from a wide variety of perspectives.

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.
