Sixth FAIRmat Users Meeting

Jul 2, 2025, 9:00 AM → Jul 3, 2025, 4:00 PM Europe/Berlin

UFO (Ruhr-Universität Bochum)

We are pleased to announce the Sixth FAIRmat Users Meeting, taking place at Ruhr-Universität Bochum on July 2-3, 2025.

The FAIRmat Users Meeting is a central event for scientists in physics, chemistry, and materials science who are passionate about research data management (RDM) and its role in accelerating scientific discovery.

The upcoming meeting will focus on AI- and ML-driven materials science and how the FAIR data principles make research data "AI-ready". Learn how NOMAD, our free web-based platform, is more than just a data repository – it is an enabler for next-generation materials discovery using machine learning and artificial intelligence.

Whether you are a seasoned NOMAD user, exploring its potential, or just starting your RDM journey, this event will offer valuable insights, practical tools, and meaningful connections.

What to expect:

• Invited talks from experts using NOMAD and NOMAD Oasis for AI/ML applications in computation, experimentation, and synthesis.
• Hands-on tutorials on the NOMAD AI Toolkit, downloading ML-ready datasets, and getting started with NOMAD.
• Poster session open to external contributions.
• Informal support desks for direct interaction with NOMAD developers and FAIRmat domain experts.
• Networking opportunities.

You will have the opportunity to contribute to the program with a poster! The call will open soon – stay tuned and don’t miss your chance to share your work.

We look forward to two days of stimulating discussions, hands-on sessions, and community building!
