📌 Poster Session highlights at #HAICON26
It was great to see strong interest in the posters presented by our #HMC colleagues.
Santiago Casas Castro showcased his work on metadata crosswalk extraction and graph-grounded interoperability, while Marjan Kohandani from the #HMCproject #AIMWORKS presented their results.
Many thanks to everyone who stopped by for discussions and questions!

🚀 MIRO-LLMs kicked off in January!
The #HMCproject aims to improve #FAIRdata in radiation oncology & microbiome research – using knowledge graphs & #LLM to make data more accessible and kicked-off with partners from @DKFZ, @MDC_Berlin
& #HMC Hub Health.
🎉 7 projects selected in the #HMC Project Call 2025!
Out of 16 proposals, seven projects will be funded over the next 2 years to advance #FAIRdata, #metadata quality & research data infrastructure.
12 #Helmholtz Centres are involved – highlighting strong collaboration & interdisciplinarity.

🚀 Operando4NeXus Kick-off in Berlin!
The #HMCproject #Operando4NeXus has started. Partners met in #Berlin to align on goals and kick off collaboration.
The project advances #interoperability and #metadata integration in the #NeXus standard, supporting #FAIRdata in photon & neutron science.
Great exchange with @fairmat_nfdi @DAPHNE4NFDI & #SECoP@HMC — metadata is teamwork!

💙 #LoveDataWeek 2026 | Day 5: Reuse it FAIR
#LoveData26 is coming to an end – but there is no “end” with #FAIRdata.
Interoperability is the foundation of data reuse & enables data to move across systems, contexts+research domains.
This is exactly what we focus on at today’s #HMC_FAIRfriday:
How ELN-driven #metadata #interoperability enables sustainable data #reuse across systems & research contexts.

Looking forward to seing you next week!
#HMCproject INSTRUGRAM kicked off 2 weeks ago in Hamburg 🚀
#INSTRUGRAM aims to simplify & standardize how scientific instruments are registered in metadata systems. By providing reusable PIDINST-based templates & a modular tool, the project supports the creation of high-quality, interoperable &#FAIR metadata across research domains,
1st ideas were discussed at the kick-off with colleagues from #GEOMAR, #Hereon, #AWI, #GFZ & #BSH.
More infos on our webiste soon.
