We just launched our @NFDI4Microbiota panel discussion "Wet-Lab Meets AI - How and Where" at #VAAM2026 with the panelists Jana Seifert, Ines Krohn, Marco Galardini, and Robert Heyer moderated by Ulisses Nunes da Rocha. Immediately, bumped into the responsibility question.

Day 2 of our annual @NFDI4Microbiota conference started with a fantastic talk by Alexandre Smirnov (Molecular Genetics, Genomics and Microbiology, University of Strasbourg and CNRS) in which he outlined how he practically established practices in his lab make the research data open and #FAIR. #NFDI #NFDI4Microbiota #OpenScience #Microbiology

Very inspiring keynote by Catrhin Stöver (@geant). She highlighted not only the impressive scale and impact of GEANT’s services but also emphasized the importance of building infrastructure and its community on strong values. These values, she argued, are what help us navigate and overcome even challenging times. #CoRDI #CoRDI2025 #NFDI #NFDIrocks
Rob Finn is now giving one of the two #CoRDI2025 keynotes, sharing insights on the latest developments in life science data infrastructures at #EMBL #EBI. We are delighted to have him on the SAB of @NFDI4Microbiota as his work gives him invaluable perspective that helps us align our activities with the broader European data ecosystem. #FAIR #OpenScience #CoRDI #NFDI #NFDIrocks
York Sure-Vetter, director of @NFDI just kicked off the CoRDI - Conference on Research Data Infrastructure conference. Fantastic to have again so many individuals working on the joint vision of #NFDI and people from the research (infrastructure) community in one place. #cordi2025 #RDM #OpenScience #FAIR
Gerade ist das zweitägige Symposiums „Linked Data im Zeitalter der generativen Künstlichen Intelligenz – Neue Perspektiven oder überholte Vision?“ - organisiert von @bfr, @nfdi4health und @FAIRagro - gestartet. Wir werden morgen #KGI4NFDI vorstellen. Ich freue mich auf eine kompakte Sammlung spannender Vorträge und anregende Diskussionen im Spannungsfeld von Knowledge Graphs und KI. https://www.bfr-akademie.de/deutsch/veranstaltungen/linkeddata.html #FAIR #KnowledgeGraph #LinkedOpenData #LinkedData #AI

✨ The 3rd @NFDI4Microbiota Annual Conference has wrapped up! ✨

We were happy to host inspiring keynotes from Rob Finn (giving insights on MGnify) and Amber Scholz (with updates from the Digital Sequence Information Policy front). The event buzzed with activity, from hands-on workshops showcasing our services to lively poster session discussions. It was fantastic to connect with so many community members and advance the #FAIR and #Open research in #Microbiology together. #NFDI

At the First NFDI BioMed Workshop in Heidelberg, we had a fantastic exchange of ideas.✨ In the last two days the consortia @ghga, @nfdi4health, @nfdi4bioimage, @nfdi4immuno, and @NFDI4Microbiota came together to explore cross-consortia activities and joint use cases.

🎉 A huge thank you to all participants for your enthusiasm and invaluable discussions. Looking forward to turning these ideas into useful outcomes and solution for our communities! 🚀 #NFDI #BioMed #FAIR #OpenScience #RDM

The 1st #BASE4NFDI User Conference has started today and is meanwhile in full swing. We are happy to present our base services: #KGI4NFDI (#KnowledgeGraph Infrastructure) and #RDMTraining4NFDI. Stay tuned for the link to our presentation slides - coming soon!
