Two intense days at the NFDI-MatWerk All-hands-on-Deck meeting in Siegburg! Huge kudos to the organising team for making it so fruitful. Loved connecting with the MatWerk community, reflecting on Phase 1 achievements and getting excited for Phase 2. Big shoutout to the @fizise team: @enorouzi @heikef Hossein Beygi Nasrabadi and Alsayed Algergawy!

Yesterday at the #SciLake closing event, we explored how the #SciLake project is helping turn fragmented scientific knowledge into more connected, discoverable insights through Scientific Knowledge Graphs.
We’ll be sharing highlights from the discussion soon.

The task given to #NFDI from the federal and state governments: “The NFDI shall set standards in data management.”
Today, 17 experts from all scientific subject areas, took a giant step forward in the workshop “NFDI-RFC Standardisation Concept” at #KIT in Karlsruhe. Here are two of the questions that we discussed:
* How can we use the #RfC standardisation method for NFDI?
* How should NFDI adopt and apply standards in RDM?
This week, Andrea Mannocci (CNR-ISTI) will present the @OpenAIREGraph at the 140th GIST Seminar organised by the GRIPS Innovation, Science and Technology Policy Program in Tokyo.
The talk will explore how open scholarly data powers research intelligence and Open Science monitoring.
