NOMAD tutorial tour
In the past, FAIRmat did a lot of successful online tutorials on NOMAD, which you can find on their YouTube Channel. Now they decided to take it one step further and go directly to scientists. In May 2025, the first NOMAD tutorial tour started with stops in Mainz, Darmstadt and Heidelberg. I very much like the idea and new approach to get into direct contact with the research community. I hope that there will be another NOMAD tutorial tour, and that other NFDI consortia copy this idea. Follow the links for more information about the tour.

Report: Consortium meeting
In the last news digest, I mentioned that NFDI4Cat had published a report to the last consortium meeting with links to most of the resources. Now, NFDI4Cat has uploaded all missing materials, so a second look at the report is definitely worth it.

Zenodo uploads
In the past, NFDI4Cat has published multiple animated videos on different aspects of research data management like electronic lab notebooks, metadata and ontologies. These videos are now also available on Zenodo with a DOI. Furthermore, a paper first published in 2022 with the title "How Research Data Management Plans Can Help in Harmonizing Open Science and Approaches in the Digital Economy" is no available on Zenodo.

Recording coffee lecture: Introducing Galaxy for Earth Science
The recording of a coffee lecture from March 2025 was published on the YouTube channel of NFDI4Earth. In the coffee lecture, the open-source platform for creating workflows Galaxy Europe was introduced. You will learn how Galaxy can be used by the Earth System Sciences, where you can find support and get an overall overview of functionalities.
New Zenodo uploads
Slides from a presentation about Data Spaces, and how it can help to share data across multiple institutions and work collaborative with FAIR Digital Objects were uploaded.
