It is already August O.O Let us check out what new.
DAPHNE4NFDI
DAPHNE4NFDI is the consortium for DAta from PHoton and Neutron Experiments of the NFDI, the National Research Data Infrastructure in Germany.
Zenodo
The slides from a talk back in February 2023 about VISA (Virtual Infrastructure for Scientific Analysis) were uploaded to Zenodo. It describes the general idea and user experience of VISA, as well as the plans for the usage at DESY. Check it out.

FAIRmat
FAIRmat is the FAIR Data Infrastructure for Condensed-Matter Physics and the Chemical Physics of Solids, a consortium of the NFDI, the National Research Data Infrastructure in Germany.
Tutorial 14 videos are now online
Another NOMAD tutorial video series was published, this time focussing on Developing schemas and parser for FAIR computational data storage using NOMAD. You can find the video playlist here. If you are not interested in the whole tutorial, I still recommend checking out the new features of NOMAD described in the first video of the series (from 7:10 min or see below). With my background in molecular dynamics simulations, I am always happy to see new developments in this direction. Also interesting that there will be a refactoring of the NOMAD simulation schema (12:54 min).
NFDI4Cat
NFDI4Cat is the consortium for sciences related to catalysis of the NFDI, the National Research Data Infrastructure in Germany.
Zenodo
The slides to a presentation about the digitalization of a microkinetic modeling workflow were published.

NFDI4Chem
NFDI4Chem is the Chemistry consortium for the NFDI, the National Research Data Infrastructure in Germany.
Second overview of NFDI collaborations published
NFDI4Chem is discussing the NFDI publication Collaborative work in NFDI, which was published on Zenodo. It shows in detail the different collaborations within NFDI and is quite interesting. Learn more about the NFDI4Chem perspective in their article.
NFDI4Earth
NFDI4Earth is the Consortium Earth System Sciences of the NFDI, the National Research Data Infrastructure in Germany.
Zenodo
The results of an online survey about FAIR and open data practices in the German Earth System Sciences community were published. As mentioned in the description, this is a presentation of the results, the interpretation will be discussed in a follow-up report. I like that the survey has the question: what would motivate the participants to perform FAIR and open data practices more often? And we see that Better institutional technical infrastructure and Better individually tailored institutional support are very important. Check out the survey yourself. (And if you are looking for individually tailored support, The FAIR Elephant this there for you, just contact me 😉 )

PSDI
PSDI is the Physical Sciences Data Infrastructure in the UK.
Zenodo
If this is the first time hearing about PSDI, then check out the newly published slides from a community workshop in July. It is a great overview of what the PSDI is all about.

PUNCH4NFDI
PUNCH4NFDI is the Particles, Universe, NuClei and Hadrons for the NFDI consortium of the NFDI, the National Research Data Infrastructure in Germany.
Newsletter
Check out the latest newsletter from PUNCH4NFDI right now. As always with newsletters, there is too much information to cover everything in this news digest, and something we already discussed in the past weeks. But take a look yourself, great way to get a fast and brief update on the latest developments.
Outro
I want to thank you for reading, sharing and liking these news digests, I truly hope that some of you benefit from these weekly overviews. For me, it definitely helps to stay up-to-date because there is so much going on right now in the field of RDM (even in the summer break). So, thanks again and see you next week!
