💙 #LoveDataWeek 2026 📍The data in #NOMAD are behind APIs & workflows At scale, NOMAD exposes data through APIs and automation-ready workflows, enabling programmatic access, AI/ML pipelines, and large-scale analysis. At this stage, data become operational, powering continuous research and discovery.

💙 #LoveDataWeek 2026 📍 The data in #NOMAD are across a federated ecosystem. As data accumulate, the next step is to connect them within a shared ecosystem. NOMAD is not only a place where databases connect, it is also a framework where institutional infrastructures themselves can become databases.

💙 #LoveDataWeek 2026 📍 The data in #NOMAD are in daily research workflows. FAIR data start in labs long before publication. With NOMAD Oasis, labs make daily research workflows FAIR, capturing data directly from experiments and simulations at the bench and terminal. #LoveData26 #FAIRdata

💙 #LoveDataWeek 2026 📍 The data in #NOMAD are in structured metadata. NOMAD turns raw files into FAIR data using parsers and schema plugins, as well as NOMAD Metainfo. NOMAD extracts machine-readable meaning, making data searchable, comparable, and reusable. #LoveData26 #FAIRdata

💙 #LoveDataWeek 2026 📍The data in #NOMAD are at the source. Data start as raw, domain-native files exactly as produced by instruments and simulation codes. Nothing is changed and nothing is abstracted. This raw layer ensures reproducibility, provenance, and long-term archival. #LoveData26 #FAIRdata

💙 #LoveDataWeek 2026 | Where’s the data in #NOMAD? From Feb 9–13, we explore where data live in the NOMAD ecosystem, from raw files to FAIR data, labs, infrastructures, and APIs. One answer per day. Follow along! #LoveData26 #FAIRdata

📣 CECAM Workshop – FAIR Data Management of Theoretical Spectroscopy & Green’s Function Methods The workshop brings together method developers, materials scientists, and data experts to tackle challenges in data management and standardization for excited-state and GF methods. #CECAM #FAIRdata #NFDI

💙 #LoveDataWeek 2026 | Challenges in Data Reusability Workshop ⏰ Only a few places left! Join us to learn why reusable data are essential for transparent, efficient, and impactful science. 📆 February 9, 2026 🔗 events.hifis.net/event/3276
