We are delighted to welcome Prof. Dr. Erdmann Spiecker as the new leader of Task B1: Electron Microscopy and Spectroscopy.
Prof. Dr. Spiecker is the head of the Institute of Micro- and Nanostructure Research at the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg.
On June 15, 2023 at 11:00, in Berlin and online, Taylor D. Sparks (University of Utah) will give the talk Materials informatics: Moving beyond screening via generative machine learning models.

This event is hosted by FAIRmat as a member of Physical Sciences in NFDI. Physical Sciences in NFDI is a collaboration between the NFDI consortia DAPHNE4NFDI, FAIRmat, MaRDI, NFDIMatWerk, NFDI4Cat, NFDI4Chem and PUNCH4NFDI. We unite experts on a broad spectrum of topics in physics, chemistry, mathematics and informatics. In our talk series we invite leading scientists to showcase good data practices to an international, interdisciplinary audience.
On 8-9 May, members of the NOMAD development team and FAIRmat domain experts met with Daniele Procida and Teodora Mihoc of Canonical for an interactive workshop on the Diátaxis framework for writing documentation.
The idea of Diàtaxis is to split documentation into distinct categories based on whether it should share practical or theoretical skills, and whether it should aid study or active work. After discussing this setup and how it fits with the needs of NOMAD users, the team got down to identifying how we can make the NOMAD documentation more effective and easy to use. Watch this space for developments in the very near future!

We are looking for an expert for biophysical data to join our team in Berlin!
In this role you will...
- Be responsible for the development of the biophysics-specific aspects within the consortium FAIRmat, and interact with external partners;
- Build and maintain a network of stakeholders in the data-intensive field of biophysical research in Germany. A particular focus will be the handling of biophysical data from techniques such as electron microscopy and molecular simulations.
The full job description and application form are available here.
The FAIRmat team participated in a variety of ways at the DPG-Frühjahrstagung 2023 (DPG Spring Meeting) of the Condensed Matter Section (SKM) in Dresden and had a great time talking to the condensed-matter community about FAIR data management!
FAIRmat organized the special plenary talk discussion “NFDI and FAIR research data: benefit or burden?” with the panel members comprising Michael Mößle (DFG), Claudia Draxl (FAIRmat, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin), Ralph Claessen (Universität Würzburg) and Frank Schreiber (DAPHNE4NFDI, Universität Tübingen). Michael Mößle (DFG) started the discussion by stressing the need to better use scientific data and outcomes of DFG funded projects, and the fact that developing the standards and best practices for FAIR data management should be driven by the community for each discipline, due to different requirements of each field. The topics discussed included the implications of FAIR data management on the community, the need to provide a protective space for scientists to work with their data, and standards to control electronic lab note books (ELNs) usage and training.
The discussion was then open to the audience, which was lively, and we saw that our community are interested in FAIR data issues and are thinking about how to overcome the hurdles associated with FAIR research data management.
In the focus session Making Experimental Data F.A.I.R. – New Concepts for Research Data Management a variety of speakers including several members of our team spoke about their experiences implementing FAIR research data management practices such as exper
imental data and meta data generation workflows, meta data schemas and file formats, electronic lab notebooks, novel tools for handling and analyzing scientific research data
Finally, our team were at the FAIRmat and DAPHNE4NFDI booth to meet the community, inform people about FAIR data management, and chat with them about our work. Whether people were learning about FAIR data for the first time or coming to us as seasoned experts, the conversations were engaging and we had a great time meeting everyone!

We are excited to announce our upcoming FAIRmat tutorial on extending NOMAD and NOMAD Oasis.
NOMAD is a research data management platform for materials science. NOMAD Oasis allows you to operate the popular NOMAD service for your own lab, with your rules, and on your resources. You can adopt NOMAD Oasis to implement your institutes data policies and to work with your specific data types and workflows.
This tutorial aims to introduce participants to the new plugin mechanism in NOMAD and teach them how to develop and integrate their own Python schemas and parsers to a NOMAD Oasis. Plugins enable you to alter how NOMAD processes data and therefore allow for more powerful customisations than the custom schemas presented in past tutorials. Participants will learn how to enable the conversion of new materials science data formats into NOMAD's standardised and machine-readable format. NOMAD plugins can be contributed to the community to further promote reproducibility and transparency in materials science.
The FAIRmat guide to writing a Data Management Plan (DMP) is now available on our materials page.
This quick guide outlines what a DMP is, why it is important and how to approach writing one. It includes guidelines from the DFG but the advice is relevant to any researcher writing or contributing to a DMP.
The brand new NOMAD website has been launched! The new website features a modern and sleek design that is easy to navigate and provides a comprehensive overview of NOMAD's unique features and benefits. We have also incorporated new sections that showcase the solutions we offer, the latest infrastructure updates, our tutorials and the various channels available for user support.
Whether you are a frequent NOMAD user or just learning about it for the first time, the new webpage will provide you with all the information you need to get started and make the most of NOMAD.
