Launched on 5 September, the user-friendly design makes it even easier to explore NFDI-MatWerk's goals and solutions. Whether you are already part of the community or just starting out, the updated website will help you quickly understand how NFDI-MatWerk can benefit your work.
Key Highlights:
- A clear, structured, and user-friendly layout that simplifies access to information.
- A concise overview of NFDI-MatWerk’s vision, objectives, and the concrete benefits it offers users.
- A new section illustrating how Task Areas (TAs), Infrastructure Use Cases (IUCs), and Participant Projects (PPs) collaborate.
- User-centric presentations of solutions (software, workflows, and metadata support) developed within NFDI-MatWerk or useful for research data management. These are accessible via the Data Life Cycle and NFDI-MatWerk Architecture, or simply listed.
- A helpdesk offering expert support for all your questions.
- A simple form to apply as a Participant Project and join NFDI-MatWerk with your existing project.
In the next steps, the rollout working group will conduct interviews with users (from the PPs) to make the solutions even more practical and user-friendly. The focus will be on demonstrating how these solutions can be applied in practice, based on specific questions or problems developed within the NFDI-MatWerk IUCs.
User support will also be expanded. Teaching materials covering both general and software-specific topics will continue to be developed. The NFDI-MatWerk website aims to become the go-to resource for the entire MSE community, providing valuable insight into digital research data management. Whether you're preparing a proposal or just starting out as an undergraduate or postgraduate student, the new website has all the information you need, and we will continue to improve it for users.
Stay tuned for more updates!
