Poster-Session
NFDI4Cat aims to motivate young academics and young professionals from industry to contribute to research data management in the field of catalysis and catalysis-related sciences. Thus, this event provides space for new and innovative topics to be presented and discussed in the form of posters. For this reason, we invite the submission of abstracts for poster presentations until September 1, 2022 here ..
The winners will be presented on site at the end of the event. The award ceremony will be streamed online for all participants. Don’t miss your chance to win one of the four poster prizes sponsored by hte and BASF SE!
Three prizes with expert evaluation!
From dialogue to action @ the NFDI4Cat World Café
You are invited to join us in a collaborative conversation to develop collaborative ideas and new projects. Have a seat at the table and join us in collaborative dialogue, active engagement, and constructive opportunities for action on on four key topics.
Signup for any of the sessions is available during registration and is limited to those participants present at the event. The World Café sessions is scheduled for one hour.
Agenda
This is a provisional agenda and is subject to change. Please check back regularly.
Registration and Fees
The event is free of charge, but registration is required. Registration is possible until the start of the conference. After registration you will receive an E-Mail with the confirmation and all important information.
Almost two years after the launch of NFDI4Cat, we would like to share with you, the public and the scientific community what we have accomplished so far. Save the date, our second annual meeting will take place September 23, 2022.
After the success of our first annual meeting, it is our pleasure and privilege to invite you to the second upcoming NFDI4Cat annual meeting at the DECHEMA-House in Frankfurt am Main. We are currently planning a hybrid event for the day and will inform all interested parties as soon as more detailed information is available.
We are pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Michael Geske as successor to Dr. Krähnert. Dr. Ralph Krähnert, leader of the task area “Data Analysis, Quality Management and Reuse”, left our NFDI4Cat consortium in January of this year. We would like to sincerely thank Dr. Krähnert, who has been part of the consortium from the beginning, for the successful cooperation. Dr. Geske will continue to work on the task area “Data analysis, quality management and reuse”.
Dr. Geske is group leader at the BasCat UniCat BASF JointLab with a focus on reactor and process analysis. He brings expertise in heterogeneous catalysis, reaction kinetics and characterisation. Dr. Geske studied chemistry at the Technical University of Berlin. In 2005, he started his Ph.D. in the inorganic chemistry department of the Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Plank Society. During that period, he noticed for the first time how important a common storage place and a common language helps in data handling. In 2012 he went back to the Technical University Berlin and joined BasCat – UniCat BASF JointLab as group leader. In addition to the various projects, Dr. Geske was and still is, always interested in lab digitalization. Although it was enough to automate self-built test facilities for an unattended 24/7 operation a decade ago, complete lab digitalization is the main challenge nowadays.
Within BasCat, data are collected, simple analysis is done online and meta-data from e.g., synthesis is linked and stored to the specific catalyst. Dr. Geske is the responsible person at BasCat for this digitalization process. Unfortunately, the information exchange between different collaboration partners is currently still often done by individual SharePoints. The idea of NFDI4Cat in creating one database for the collection of all kinds of data and using the same language is perfect to bring all scientists to the same level. Intelligent user management offers the possibility to handle open and restricted data. The implementation of analysis and quality management tools will help to trigger creative data analysis and ensure a high-quality database.
When we asked Mr. Geske what interests him most about this project Mr. Geske answered: “With the ongoing digitalization of our lab space at BasCat new ways of data analysis and interpretation appear, which were not possible without having access to all characterization and synthesis meta-data. Increasing now the amount of people from one lab to basically everyone is a huge chance for science. It will be an amazing place where all scientists speak one language and a hot spot for creative data analysis and new ideas. It will be fascinating not to work only with own, but also with data from all over Germany.”
We are convinced that Mr Geske will be an excellent addition to our team, as research data management is his favourite subject, and his scientific experience will be invaluable.
The date is set! We cordially invite everyone to our NFDI4Cat Annual Meeting, which will take place on Wednesday, 17 November 2021 at DECHEMA headquarters in Frankfurt am Main. We are currently planning a hybrid event for this day and will inform all interested parties as soon as more detailed information is available.

The new issue of Bausteine Forschungsdatenmanagement has been published. In addition to the NFDI e.V., the focus is on the nine consortia of the first funding round. Each publication provides deep insights into the structure of the individual consortia, their plans and visions.
Our publication “NFDI for Catalysis-Related Sciences – NFDI4Cat” is part of this special issue and can now be accessed online for free. Read why effective research data management is crucial in catalysis, what the challenges are and how we plan to address them.

On September 22, 2021, the RDM School of Catalysis started a first test run as part of the South-West German Catalysis Institute in Annweiler at Trifels. Within 160 minutes, including open discussion and interactive examples, the 15 participants from different institutions received insights into research data management in the field of catalysis.
In the first half of the event an overview of the basics of research data management was presented, followed by an introduction to the function and advantages of databases and -modeling. The feedback from the course participants collected at the end of the first modules will be used to better adapt the future courses of the RDM School of Catalysis to the requirements and needs of PhD candidates and postdocs. The aim of the RDM School of Catalysis is to provide participants with a guide to utilization of research data in all fields of catalysis.
