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 FID Materials Science team has launched its 2025 community survey for researchers in materials science and materials engineering.

This survey aims to gather insights from scientists at universities, research institutes, and industry to better understand which FID services and tools are most useful in daily research — and where further development is needed.

Participate now and help shape the future of FID Materials Science:
Survey in German| Survey in English

The survey takes about 10 minutes and is open until 30 November 2025. All responses are collected anonymously and treated with strict confidentiality.

By participating, you help us tailor our services more closely to the real needs of the materials science community. We also invite you to share the survey link within your research groups or departmental mailing lists.
