NFDI at RWTH: An Overview of the New Funding Phase

Research data is a central component of scientific work today. It forms the basis for new insights, enables the traceability of research results, and creates the conditions necessary for data to be used and further processed over the long term. For this to succeed, sustainable infrastructures, common standards, and interdisciplinary collaboration are required.
With the National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI), a framework has been established in Germany that pursues precisely these goals. The recently approved extension of the NFDI by the federal and state governments now provides a long-term perspective for the further development of these research data infrastructures. RWTH Aachen University is also actively involved in shaping the NFDI.

From April 8 to 10, 2025, RWTH Aachen University hosted the NFDI-MatWerk Spring School, bringing together 22 enthusiastic participants from all over Germany. This diverse group included PhD students, postdocs, and researchers who work with experimental and simulation data. Over three days, they immersed themselves in intensive sessions, hands-on workshops, and lively discussions about Research Data Management (RDM) in materials science and engineering.

From April 8 to 10, 2025, the NFDI-MatWerk Spring School will take place at the IT Center in Kopernikusstraße at RWTH Aachen University. Organized by the NFDI-MatWerk consortium in cooperation with renowned partners such as Forschungszentrum Jülich and various RWTH institutes, the event is aimed at doctoral students, postdocs and advanced master’s students in the fields of materials science and engineering.
Participants will gain comprehensive knowledge of digitization solutions and research data management, learn how to effectively organize, store and share data, and exchange ideas with experts.
Registration is open until March 15, 2025, although the number of participants is limited. The “first come, first served” principle applies. Registration for the event is possible via the website of the European School of Materials (EUSMAT). Further information can be found on the RDM blog.

Better late than never: today we give you an insight into the work of the NFDI consortium MatWerk (Materials Science and Engineering). In July, it was the turn of the consortium’s colleagues at RWTH Aachen University to host the Materials Data Infrastructure (MDI) working group meeting. The three-day event took place from 16 to 18 July in the IT Centre on Kopernikusstraße. Numerous guests from the Task Area travelled from near and far to Aachen for the event.

The RDM team from RWTH Aachen University was represented at the International Congress on Materials Science and Engineering (MSE)! Well, at least partially: we were represented there by members of the Materials Science and Engineering Consortium of the National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI-MatWerk for short) of the IT Center of RWTH Aachen University. We have recorded our impressions of the MSE Congress in this article.

As our readers know, RWTH Aachen University is active in several consortia of the National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI). This includes the IT Center of RWTH Aachen University in the NFDI-MatWerk consortium, which focuses on supporting the digital transformation in materials science and engineering. In this blog post, we share our impressions of the last working meeting at KIT.
