These are worth venturing into on the action day for research data management (RDM). This article provides an overview of the contribution by Fabian Fink (RWTH Aachen University) entitled \u201cAll Chemists publish FAIR data\u201d.

These illustrate NFDI4Chem&#8217;s commitment to RDM.<\/p>\n<p>In line with the vision that \u201call chemists publish FAIR data\u201d (based on the FAIR principles \u2013 findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable), NFDI4Chem offers scientists practical tools, services, and training to improve their own data management and thus their research.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #00549f;\">Contribution to Research Data Day<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The contribution to TdF consists of a poster presentation entitled \u201cAll Chemists publish FAIR data\u201d and accompanying software demonstrations of NFDI4Chem&#8217;s tools and services. The poster provides an overview of the work carried out within NFDI4Chem during the first funding period and also offers an outlook on developments in the second funding period, which began in October.<\/p>\n<p>The poster is divided into four sections representing the central pillars of NFDI4Chem: the Smart Lab for data creation, repositories for data publication, metadata, semantics, and standards for data search and (re)use, and the cultural change promoted by supporting scientists in teaching and training.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7916\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/forschungsdaten\/files\/2025\/11\/Design-26-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7916\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-7916\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/forschungsdaten\/files\/2025\/11\/Design-26-1-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"The four central pillars of NFDI4Chem\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/forschungsdaten\/files\/2025\/11\/Design-26-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/forschungsdaten\/files\/2025\/11\/Design-26-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/forschungsdaten\/files\/2025\/11\/Design-26-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/forschungsdaten\/files\/2025\/11\/Design-26-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.rwth-aachen.de\/forschungsdaten\/files\/2025\/11\/Design-26-1-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-7916\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: NFDI4Chem (2025), CC-BY 4.0<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The poster presentation will be accompanied by live demonstrations of the software and tools developed by NFDI4Chem.

But it is only when they are used correctly in a team that their advantages become clearly visible. The article \u201cAll Chemists publish FAIR data\u201d shows the interaction of various tools and services as \u2018players\u2019 in building a successful team for the creation, (re)use, and management of FAIR data in chemistry \u2013 in line with the motto: \u201cFAIR data \u2013 FAIR play: It&#8217;s all a question of lineup.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #00549f;\">Further Information<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Meet Fabian Fink (RWTH Aachen University) in person on November 18 in Aachen and join the discussion on \u201cAll Chemists publish FAIR data.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Further information and links to the afternoon events at other locations in North Rhine-Westphalia can be found on the event page of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fdm.nrw\/tag-der-forschungsdaten-in-nrw-2025\">fdm.nrw<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If you have any questions about Research Data Day in North Rhine-Westphalia, please contact the <a href=\"mailto:servicedesk@rwth-aachen.de\">organization team<\/a>.
