NOMAD Tutorial Tour

Europe/Berlin
Hampus Näsström (Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, FAIRmat), Joseph Rudzinski (Humboldt University)
Description

In the rapidly evolving landscape of data-centric research, modern strategies for data management, sharing, and publication are essential. NOMAD is a web-based platform developed by the NFDI consortium FAIRmat to address these challenges. It has pioneered the application of FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) to materials science data, emerging now as a fully-customizable, global platform for harnessing the full potential of research data.

To introduce NOMAD to a wider audience, we’re going on tour. Our experts, Hampus Näsström (Use Cases Technical Coordinator) and Joseph F. Rudzinski (Theory & Computation Coordinator), will lead a NOMAD tutorial at several locations, with support from local hosts: Martin Girard, Hongbin Zhao, Alexander Welle, and Tristan Bereau.

Join us in Mainz, Darmstadt, or Heidelberg from May 19 to 22. (Please note: the tutorial in Karlsruhe has been cancelled.) Each stop will feature two parts: a seminar and a hands-on tutorial. The seminar will showcase NOMAD’s remarkable journey—from a repository for ab initio calculations to a comprehensive ecosystem for research data management. 

In the tutorial that follows, you can choose one of the following topics to explore NOMAD’s capabilities:

  • Project and workflow management: organize, process, share, and publish datasets; interact programmatically via a simple Python API; customize entries and workflows.
  • Electronic Lab Notebooks (ELNs): use NOMAD’s ELN interface and built-in schemas and learn how to extend them.
  • Plugin development: create a plugin repository using a cookie-cutter template; transform custom YAML/JSON schemas into Python code; add automation and plotting features.
  • Local infrastructure setup: install and configure your own NOMAD Oasis; set up CI pipelines and create custom images with plugins.

Registration is mandatory, and places are limited—don’t wait to secure your spot!
