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.

Dr. Abril Azocar Guzman on the Impact of NFDI-MatWerk in Materials Science and Engineering

The NFDI-MatWerk Impact Insights series continues to highlight its valuable contributions of the materials science and engineering (MSE) community. In the latest video, Dr. Abril Azocar Guzman from the Forschungszentrum Jülich discusses how NFDI-MatWerk plays a crucial role in advancing collaborative data management practices, fostering community-driven standards, and supporting innovative workflows in MSE research.

NFDI-MatWerk drives collaboration in materials science and engineering
In the latest NFDI-MatWerk Impact Insights series, Dr. Abril Azocar Guzman from Forschungszentrum Jülich discusses the vital role NFDI-MatWerk plays for the materials science and engineering (MSE) community. One of the standout features of NFDI-MatWerk, according to Dr. Azocar Guzman, is its ability to bring the community together to agree on essential metadata standards and workflows. These agreements are key to avoiding data silos within research institutions and streamlining data management across the field. 

By aligning practices across a diverse range of institutions, NFDI-MatWerk is creating a foundation for more efficient and collaborative research, which in turn drives progress in materials science and engineering. The collaborative approach that NFDI-MatWerk promotes enables researchers to share data and insights more seamlessly, facilitating stronger collaboration and accelerating innovation in the field. 

As the community continues to embrace these collaborative workflows, the impact of NFDI-MatWerk extends beyond the individual institutions, contributing to a more cohesive and integrated research landscape.
