Workshop: FAIR Data Principles in Physical Sciences in NFDI

Next workshop on use cases in the NFDI, presented by Physical Sciences in NFDI (PSinNFDI)

While different disciplines experience different challenges in establishing the FAIR principles for research data, there are also many similar approaches and solutions. In this workshop, we will present examples of use cases highlighting those common concepts, tools, and software that exploit workflows to achieve FAIR data across scientific disciplines. FAIR data does not start in a repository, but needs to be established already during the data generation within a research process. Hence, we invite you to join us in exploring tools and approaches to create FAIR workflows with fascinating use cases from:

  • PUNCH4NFDI: Curating Data Flows: Leveraging REANA for Reproducible Analyses of Dimensionality Reduction Workflows
  • NFDI-MatWerk: Creating and running automated workflows for material science simulations
  • DAPHNE4NFDI: Overarching Data Management Ecosystem HELIPORT
