Call for Contributions: Stronger Together for Research!
We’re excited to share that #NFDI4Cat and @nfdi4ing are teaming up for the first time to co‑host a joint conference this year!
Under the theme “Serving our communities with research data management services”, we’ll meet from December 7–9, 2026, at the DECHEMA House in Frankfurt.

We had a great time at #react26! 🎉
Our #NFDI4Cat workshop at the Annual Meeting on Reaction Engineering 2026 drew an engaged audience.
We showcased our latest tools and how easy it is to upload your own catalysis data to Repo4Cat.
Huge thanks to all participants for the lively discussions — and to our amazing speakers: Alexander Sommer‑Behr, Michael Liebau, Marc Völkenrath & Sofia Angeli! 🙌

🧩The @NFDI4Cat Learning Booklet helps you create a flexible and practical Data Management Plan (DMP) using NFDI4Cat’s digital tools and services.
It’s a step-by-step guide to making your catalysis research data #FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable).
Build transparency, reproducibility, and quality into your data workflow!
