Spring School 2025 in Aachen – Research Data Management in Materials Science and Engineering

Event Aachen (RWTH Aachen University)

More Information →

Enabling a consistent and unobstructed standardization of research data will lead to substantial improvements in efficiency and synergies/collaboration among individual researchers and well-designed IT systems. In the era of digital infrastructures, this measure holds paramount importance in shaping the future of research. For the data to be sustainable and reusable, it must adhere to the “FAIR Data Principles”, meaning it should be “Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Re-usable”. The FAIR principles will be a cornerstone of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) implementation. Nowadays, Data Management Plans (DMPs) have become a requirement for project applications in Horizon Europe and are increasingly being demanded by various funding organizations, including the German Science Foundation (DFG), among others. The scientific consortium NFDI-MatWerk (National Research Data Infrastructure) focuses on the research area Materials Science & Materials Engineering (MSE). The central challenge is the digital representation of materials and their relevant process and load parameters. NFDI-MatWerk will provide in this summer school tailored information and solutions for dealing with research data in MSE.

Who can apply? PhD-students and Post-Docs working in experimental and/or modeling/simulation in any field of materials science and engineering (with or without experience in RDM). Advanced Master Students are also welcome to apply.

Registration deadline: March 15, 2025

Please keep in mind that the number of participants is limited. Therefore, the “First Come-First Served” principle will be applied. Those who register first will have priority to obtain a place in the spring school.

The participation is free of charge. The event will take place in English.

The Carpentries Workshop: Python Basics and Plotting

As part of our “Trainings” work package, the DKZ.2R plans to curate and provide a variety of trainings, seminars and courses. We will start by offering an official The Carpentries Workshop on the 21st and 22nd of November 2024 on the topic of “plotting and programming in Python”. The Carpentries Workshop by DKZ.2R: Python basics and plotting The workshop will be hosted on-site at RWTH Aachen University and is open for up to 25 participants. The workshop material is available online and will be presented by official carpentry instructors who will walk you through the steps and are available for questions the whole time. The course is teaching the very basics of Python and although some experience with other scripting/programming languages is beneficial, no prior knowledge is required for the course. Furthermore, the event is open for participants from all domains. If you are interested in taking part in the workshop you can sign up here.

Tired of Recreating someone else’s work? - How Open Science can accelerate research and overcome reinvention

Have you ever found papers on algorithms but their implementation is missing? Found an interesting analysis but there is no way to check the results, as you don’t have access to the data they were derived from? Ever thought you had a great idea for a project, just to find out a year later that you are not the only research group following that specific idea? Not having access to other people’s code, data, metrics or even their plans for research projects often leads to unnecessary delays and scientific redundancies. There is an easy solution to overcome (almost) all of these issues. It’s called Open Science! What is Open Science? The UNESCO defines Open Science as a construct of “movements and practices aiming to make multilingual scientific knowledge openly available, accessible and reusable for everyone, to increase scientific collaborations and sharing of information for the benefits of science and society, and to open the processes of scientific knowledge creation, evaluation and communication to societal actors […]”. To ensure that everyone has access to scientific knowledge and infrastructure, Open Science focuses on four main concepts.
