We are pleased to announce the eighth FAIRmat Users Meeting, which will take place in Berlin from June 16 to 17, 2026.
The FAIRmat Users Meeting is a central event for scientists and data stewards in physics, chemistry, and materials science interested in practical research data management (RDM) and its role in accelerating scientific discovery. Through hands-on tutorials and real-world use cases, the meeting demonstrates how FAIR data practices using NOMAD can support experimental and computational research workflows.
The program will begin with an overview of recent FAIRmat developments and new NOMAD features, followed by hands-on sessions focused on practical RDM implementation. Tutorials will guide participants through the basics of getting started with NOMAD, including data structuring and role-based usage. Topics will range from basic GUI functions to plugin development and NOMAD Oasis administration.
The first day will conclude with the Users-Meet-Developers exhibit. This open forum offers participants the opportunity to present their work, exchange ideas, and interact directly with NOMAD developers and FAIRmat experts. The session will be accompanied by food and refreshments, creating a relaxed setting for informal discussions and networking. Participants interested in presenting and discussing their RDM workflows, uploaded datasets, developed plugins, custom schemas, data analysis tools, or other related solutions are invited to indicate this in the registration form.
On June 17, NOMAD users will share their experiences and best practices for managing, sharing, and analyzing research data using the NOMAD ecosystem.
Whether you are an experienced NOMAD user or are just beginning your RDM journey, this meeting will provide you with practical skills, new insights, and valuable networking opportunities.
We look forward to stimulating discussions, hands-on sessions, and community building!
