NFDI4Chem Chemistry Data Days 2023: 06. & 07. June, University of Mainz

Chemistry data and data-driven research are important today, and will have even more impact in the (near) future!

In the two-day event “Chemistry Data Days 2023” of the NFDI4Chem at the University of Mainz, participants will have the opportunity to share inspirations about what is already possible with chemistry data today.

The program includes keynote speeches, hands-on workshops on how to handle chemistry data in a sustainable way, a poster session on data management in chemistry for participants to present and discuss their own work and a session on career-planning in the field of chemistry.

The conference fees as well as the catering are free of charge. Participants will need to pay for your own accommodation and travel.

You can find further information as well as a list with all confirmed speakers, the call for posters and the call for abstracts at the website of the Chemistry Data Days 2023.

Deadline for poster and abstract submissions: May 30, 2023!

All speakers will answer questions from the audience.

or

Barcamps

For those who are already advanced in their careers: a BarCamp is an ad-hoc event where attendees gather to share and learn from each other in an open and informal environment. Unlike traditional workshops, BarCamps are organised by the attendees themselves, with no set agenda or speakers. Instead, anyone who attends can propose a topic at the beginning of the day and the most popular topics will then be discussed in the barcamps. 

18:00 Poster Session, Buffet and Drinks Reception  Present and discuss your own research with other scientists and exhibitors. Ideally, include how you deal with data and or bring questions / problems along as to where you would like to improve your data handling. Incl. home brewed beer tasting.
