FAIRmat and NOMAD: Recent Developments and Future Directions
- Lukas Pielsticker (FAIRmat / HU Berlin)
Description
In this overview talk, I will present recent developments across FAIRmat and the NOMAD ecosystem, highlighting the continued growth of the platform as a research data infrastructure for materials science. FAIRmat now supports a broad range of research activities, from individual projects and laboratory workflows to institutional data management and collaborative research environments.
The presentation will showcase recent advances across the ecosystem, including improvements to data management, metadata handling, workflow support, data exploration, and deployment options. Through selected examples, I will demonstrate how these developments help researchers and organizations manage research data more effectively while enabling FAIR and reproducible research practices.
The talk will conclude with an outlook on the next phase for FAIRmat and NOMAD, highlighting emerging capabilities, expanding application areas, and the growing role of FAIR research data in data-driven and AI-based scientific discovery.
