NFDI-MatWerk - Responsive Layout
NFDI-MatWerk – National Research Data Infrastructure for MSE

We support researchers in Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) with FAIR data solutions that enable new discovery.

We envision research data management (RDM) that supports every stage of a project, strengthens collaboration through easier data exchange, and integrates materials data from different techniques, including experiments and simulations.

We invite researchers with all levels of RDM knowledge to engage with an ecosystem of adaptable workflows, services, tools, and guidance that support daily laboratory and simulation work.

Introductory Session: Electronic Laboratory Notebooks - What they are and why we need them

Several ELNs are already in active use in our NFDI-MatWerk community. In the online introductory event, experts will present six different ELNs.

The paper lab book is passé. Most of our research data are digital by design. The paper lab book is passé. The electronic lab notebook (or ELN) is a digital version, a software platform, of the traditional lab notebook to record and store experimental results. Other obvious benefits of ELNs include data sharing, access, and analysis.

Several ELNs are already in active use in our NFDI-MatWerk community. In the online introductory event, six subject matter experts will present six different ELNs for 20 minutes each, using illustrative examples. Here, the basic functionalities of ELNs are illustrated using graph and image data from the MatWerk area.

You can exchange experiences with the experts on the following ELNs:

- eLabFTW (Nicolas Carpi, CEO of Deltablot)

- openBIS (Dr. Caterina Barillari, ETH Zürich)

- PASTA (Dr. Steffen Brinckmann, Forschungszentrum Jülich)

- Labfolder (Sarah Yazigi, Labforward GmbH)

- Chemotion (Dr. Nicole Jung, KIT)

- NOMAD OASIS (Dr. Markus Scheidgen, FAIRmat, Humboldt Universität zu Berlin)

We look forward to your active participation. The registration link you find here.
