Love Data Week is an international celebration that promotes research data and good data practices. The 2026 edition takes place from February 9 to 13 under this year’s global theme "Where's the Data?".
FAIRmat joins the celebration once again with a range of online activities highlighting the importance of FAIR data in physics, chemistry, and materials science. As part of the program, we are co-organising the joint online workshop "Challenges in Data Reusability" together with DAPHNE4NFDI and the Helmholtz Metadata Collaboration (HMC), focusing on shared challenges and solutions in making research data reusable.
For a taste of last year’s sessions, watch our video highlights here.
Explore upcoming events in the German-speaking region and celebrate the love for data with us.
The DPG-Frühjahrstagungen (Spring Meetings) are among the largest physics congresses in Europe, drawing over 10,000 participants from Germany and abroad. Organized annually at various locations and universities across Germany, these meetings are a key platform for sharing knowledge and fostering young talent.
As a regular participant, FAIRmat will be contributing to this vibrant exchange with a range of presentations and activities.
Later this year, FAIRmat will participate in the exhibition at the Bunsen-Tagung 2026, the 125th Annual Conference of the German Bunsen Society for Physical Chemistry, hosted by Technische Universität Dresden together with the Leibniz-Institut für Polymerforschung Dresden (IPF) and the Leibniz-Institut für Oberflächenmodifizierung (IOM). The 2026 conference is held under the theme "Properties and Processes under Confinement".
Visit our exhibition booth to learn more about FAIR data principles, the NOMAD infrastructure, and our services for the materials-science community. We look forward to meeting conference participants and discussing data management, reuse, and collaboration opportunities.
From May 25–29, 2026, FAIRmat will participate in the annual Spring Meeting of the European Materials Research Society (E-MRS) at the Strasbourg Convention Centre in France. The Spring Meeting & Exhibit is a major international forum in materials science, featuring 24 parallel symposia with invited speakers, oral and poster presentations, and a plenary session to discuss recent advances in both fundamental research and technological applications.
This year’s exhibition will run from May 26–28, bringing together around 80 international exhibitors showcasing equipment, software, publications, and services of interest to the materials community. Visit us at booth no. 35 to learn more about FAIR data principles and the NOMAD infrastructure, connect with our team, and explore opportunities for collaboration.
