A look back at the HMC Conference 2025 #HMC_CON2025 in Cologne - More than just a meeting about the metadata world!
The @helmholtz_hmc Conference took place in Cologne from 12 to 14 May. It featured an interesting programme covering all aspects of metadata, interoperability and FAIRness in research. In addition, the conference offered one thing above all: space for dialogue, networking and inspiration.
