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.

The Big Digitization Survey 2024: NFDI-MatWerk

The NFDI-MatWerk consortium has opened the 2024 Digitization Survey for the Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) community.

This survey seeks insights from stakeholders in industry, academia, and non-university environments to address the specific needs and challenges in MSE. 

Participate now and make a difference:

Deutschsprachige Umfrage | Survey in English 

With increasing data volumes and advanced computing resources, digitalization is crucial for Germany’s research and innovation sectors. Effective data management and evaluation are essential for progress in MSE. By participating, stakeholders can help align data management developments with actual needs. This survey is especially valuable for those who participated in the 2020 survey, aiding in a comparative analysis of progress. 

The survey takes about 10-15 minutes and is open until 31 July 2024. The NFDI-MatWerk consortium urges the MSE community to share their insights to improve digitization practices.
