PSDI launched a new webinar series entitled “From Project to Platform: New Resources on PSDI”. This series aims to showcase the high-quality tools and resources developed through the funding call 2025, introduce them to a broader community, and foster engagement with relevant user groups.
On 9th July 2026, PSDI hosted the fifth session of the new webinar series titled “Open Repositories for Chemistry and Energy Systems“ – “ORKiM – An open access repository for kinetic mechanisms”“
For those who missed the live session or wish to revisit the discussion, the full webinar is available on our YouTube channel.

Abstract: Kinetic mechanisms are essential for understanding, modelling and optimising reacting systems, but they are often difficult to access, reproduce and reuse due to fragmentation across journals, supplementary files and bespoke formats. Dr Sergio Vernuccio introduced how ORKiM enables the publication, curation and reuse of kinetic mechanisms, illustrated through a case study on alkene oligomerisation in acidic zeolites.
