NFDI4Chem at CoRDI 2025

The second Conference on Research Data Infrastructure took place in Aachen at the end of August, with more than 700 participants from the 26 NFDI-consortia, State-RDM-Initiatives and international partners and institutions. Several people from NFDI4Chem were present to contribute to current developments in the form of posters and talks.

Why is this important?

NFDI4Chem can perform many tasks on its own (and must do so, as they are chemistry-specific). However, there are also tasks that several consortia can achieve more effectively together, such as providing services that are required in several research domains. There are also tasks that NFDI4Chem cannot address alone, such as maintaining contact with political decision-makers in line with our objectives.

Among others, NFDI4Chem contributed two chairs to cross-disciplinary tracks: Oliver Koebler hosted the ‘RDM in Context’ sessions and Sonja Herres-Pawlis hosted the ‘Educating RDM’ sessions. Although it was a lot of work for the two of them, we are proud to have contributed to two of the four most important topics in the field of RDM.

As we have made many contributions, it is not possible to introduce everything in depth. Here is a list and a picture gallery.
