“Repo4Cat: A Data Repository for Catalysis-Related Sciences” is out in IEEE IDAACS 2025
Repo4Cat advances #FAIRdata & #OpenScience in #Catalysis linked with pid4cat, voc4cat & NFDI4Cat training initiatives.
Congrats to the whole team!
International Day of Education 2026
Last Saturday was the International Day of Education, a perfect reminder of how powerful knowledge and open access to data can be.
At NFDI4Cat, we believe that education and data literacy go hand in hand. By making research data FAIR, we empower the next generation of scientists to learn, share, and innovate towards a more sustainable future.
Let’s keep learning and keep making knowledge open!
NFDI4Cat: Orchestrating Catalysis Data for FAIR Principles
Jahrestreffen Deutscher Katalytiker 2026 | Weimar
Join our hands-on workshop and discover how NFDI4Cat supports the digital transformation of catalysis research through FAIR data practices.
Explore how digital tools like MetaPortal, Repo4Cat, and Voc4Cat empower researchers to create actionable Data Management Plans, enhance collaboration, and make data sharing easier and more effective.
Successful Kickoff for NFDI4Cat 2.0 – Bridging Academia and Industry in Catalysis Research
We are thrilled to announce the successful launch of NFDI4Cat 2.0 at DECHEMA, marking a major milestone in the digital transformation of catalysis-related sciences.
Together, we are building a Joint Data Space for Catalysis, empowering researchers to access, share, and build upon each other’s work - driving innovation across the catalysis value chain.
