This webinar, presented by Elliott Kasoar and Dr Alin-Marin Elena, explores recent advances in machine learnt interatomic potentials (MLIPs) that revolutionize atomistic simulations with ab initio accuracy and expanded scales, while introducing software frameworks such as janus-core, aiida-mlip, and ML-PEG for data generation, benchmarking, training, and workflow integration within the PSDI ecosystem.

This webinar, presented by Dr Aileen Day, introduces the first version of the PSDI launched in spring 2025, explaining how to integrate physical sciences resources like data, services, tools, and guidance into its resource catalogue and cross-data search using PSDI’s metadata framework, making it ideal for new partners and researchers eyeing future contributions.

This webinar, presented by Dr Sathya Sai Seetharaman, explores the development of a dedicated materials database for the UK solid-state NMR community. It highlights how evolving data-sharing practices are shaping the way researchers manage and access information, demonstrating how the platform upholds the principles of Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reusability (FAIR) to enhance collaboration and research efficiency.

This Webinar, presented by Dr Matthew Partridge, delves into how quality checks were applied to physical chemistry data, uncovering surprising flaws in reputable datasets and showing why such review processes are essential to ensuring scientific accuracy.

This Webinar, presented by Dr. Samantha Pearman-Kanza, explores the sociotechnical challenges of implementing Electronic Lab Notebooks (ELNs) to achieve FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) data in research labs. Through PSDI, she has evaluated diverse ELN solutions, uncovering key barriers and strategies for success.

This Webinar, presented by Dr. Louise Saul, offers a practical and focused approach to making Open Research more transparent and manageable. Aimed at physical scientists, data managers, research software engineers, and academic librarians, it introduces three simple, actionable changes to embed transparency into research workflows, with real-world examples, habit-forming tips, and space for discussion.

This Webinar, presented by Dr. Samantha Pearman-Kanza, explores the growing importance of data availability and management in modern research.  The session will also introduce the emerging role of the Data Steward, a new type of digital Research Technical Professional (dRTP) who ensures data quality and usability throughout its lifecycle. The webinar also unveils CaSDaR (Careers and Skills for data-driven Research), a new four-year initiative designed to support and empower Data Stewards as central figures in the research lifecycle.

This Webinar, presented by Dr Cerys Willoughby, provides an introduction to Open Science. The session will explore the core principles of Open Science, highlighting the role of infrastructures like PSDI in driving progress.

This Webinar explores the fundamental principles of usability and accessibility, emphasizing their vital role in designing effective and user-friendly tools. We'll address the diverse needs of different user groups and how accommodating these needs enhances software usability for everyone. Through this webinar, you'll discover best practices and design guidelines, illustrated with examples of both successful and flawed design practices.

Through the prism of the GREENER principles for environmentally sustainable science, this webinar will discuss what has been learnt so far and what hurdles still exist.

This hybrid seminar will showcase the KnowLedger project that is currently in development. The in person component at the University of Southampton Chemistry and Chemical Engineering Department and the online component through zoom.

This webinar will showcase NOMAD’s applications in material synthesis, characterization, simulations, and AI-driven research, with a focus on solar cells, heterogeneous catalysis, and metal-organic frameworks.
