🌱 How resource-efficient can research data management be? Our latest NFDI4Chem Stammtisch explores the environmental footprint of storing, processing and managing research data — and approaches for more sustainable RDM. ▶️ Watch: https://youtu.be/fh_u_GY8Ofg #FAIRData #RDM #GreenRDM #NFDI4Chem

Every FAIR dataset contributes to a global library of chemistry. 📚🧪 Together, we’re building a knowledge database that never sleeps. Every dataset you share in accordance with FAIR principles makes chemistry more discoverable and usable for everyone – and for AI. Help shape the future! 🚀

Sustainable research through digital lab environments - thats the topic of the podcast with 2 of our leads/board members. - What are ELNs – and what can they really do? - Data as fuel for innovation - Science vs. business #chemistry #rdm #research #fairdata #openscience https://t1p.de/ycxpg

Chemotion & LabIMotion ELN Hands-on Workshop (5–6 Aug 2026, Würzburg). Day 1: Introduction to Chemotion ELN through guided exercises. Day 2: LabIMotion for customizable workflows, templates, and modules. Hands-on, direct support from the team, no installation required. https://t1p.de/j2dwd

Open data is the catalyst for collaboration! 🧪🔗 Science is a team sport. When we share our data FAIR, we enable #collaborations that extend beyond the confines of the laboratory. Be a catalyst for new breakthroughs – share your data! 🚀 #NFDI4Chem #OpenScience #Chemistry #FAIRdata

In publications, measured data are usually attached in the form of graphs. Many think they have shared their data with it. But they havn’t. Graphs are representations of the data, they allow others to understand the publication . But they can't use them for further work. More: https://t1p.de/h98tm

Open data is the best teaching tool we have. 🧪✨ When we share research data, we enable the next generation of chemists to gain a deeper understanding than any textbook could provide. Away from ‘black-box science’, towards genuine data literacy. Let’s invest in the minds of tomorrow! 🎓 #Chemistry

Why machine-readable data is not just a good idea for AI - thats the podcast from 2 leads/members of us about - #Data management as #scientific practice - #Metadata: Why data without context is worth little - #ELN, #repositories & annotation https://t1p.de/9pe2y #chemistry

Chemotion & LabIMotion ELN Hands-on Workshop (5–6 Aug 2026, Würzburg). Day 1: Introduction to Chemotion ELN through guided exercises. Day 2: LabIMotion for customizable workflows, templates, and modules. Hands-on, direct support from the team, no installation required. https://t1p.de/j2dwd

Did you know… science moves faster when data acts as a bridge, not a wall? 🌉🧪 When we share data rather than hiding it, we forge connections that make innovation possible in the first place. Don’t be a silo – build bridges! 🚀✨ #NFDI4Chem #OpenScience #Chemistry #FAIRdata

At our mini-symposium, 'Modernising Chemistry Education: RDM and Data Science in the Curriculum' at #ECC10 in Antwerp, we discussed with @psdi-uk.bsky.social and #ECTN how to teach data-driven research to students more effectively. Thank you all for a wonderful session! #OpenScience #RDM #Education

And @nfdi4chem.de is also present @eurobic18.bsky.social with a booth! Come along to get information on #fairdata in chemistry! The tools are free to use, not only for german institutions, such as @radar-service.bsky.social !

Summer’s just around the corner, but you’ve still got experiments to catch up on? It’s handy if you use an ELN. If you don’t have an ELN: Here's an overview over centrally hosted and operated #ELN installations at german universities, so you don't have to run it on your own. https://t1p.de/hi3t4

InChI is one of the most important identifiers in #chemistry – and identifiers are important for making chemical data machine-readable and thus FAIR. It is therefore important to maintain and further develop this #identifier. Read our report on the latest #InChI #Meeting https://t1p.de/gujwt

Chemotion & LabIMotion ELN Hands-on Workshop (5–6 Aug 2026, Würzburg). Day 1: Introduction to Chemotion ELN through guided exercises. Day 2: LabIMotion for customizable workflows, templates, and modules. Hands-on, direct support from the team, no installation required. https://t1p.de/j2dwd

For anyone interested in the field of Ontologies (in chemistry): our dear British collegue Dr Samantha Pearman-Kanza, PhD, with whom we regularly collaborate as part of the @psdi-uk.bsky.social -umbrella, has written a report on our latest “Ontologies4Chem” meeting that is well worth reading.

Research data is not just a technical issue — it’s also a legal one. This talk looks at copyright, licensing, institutional frameworks, and responsible research data management in the natural sciences, highlighting what enables open and reusable research. 🎥 https://youtu.be/5sZqTdWsAQA

Not sure where to publish your data? Meet the Repositories brings together chemistry-friendly repositories to discuss scope, use cases & FAIR data publishing. Find the right home for your research data—and ask repository experts directly. 🧪 30.06.2026, 10-12 am https://t1p.de/jpjfc #OpenScience
