PSDI is so much more than a Digital Infrastructure. It’s also about building and connecting with our community. PSDI runs webinars, workshops, community townhalls and training events, we invite you to attend have a look at our upcoming events, look at our past events or check out our event recordings.
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.
Join us in Birmingham for the official PSDI Showcase — a one-day, in-person event designed to introduce researchers, data professionals, and institutions working at the forefront of physical sciences, to our Physical Sciences Data Infrastructure.
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.
The Physical Sciences Data Infrastructure (PSDI), The University of Southampton, and the Digital Curation Centre (DCC) are jointly hosting an in-person, one-day event to explore data curation and data management in physical sciences.
Via presentations and discussions, the event will enable knowledge exchange around current practices, challenges, and future directions in the curation and management of research data in physical sciences, as well as foster networking and collaboration.
The Physical Sciences Data Infrastructure (PSDI), the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC), and the Digital Curation Centre (DCC) are jointly hosting an in-person, one-day event in Cambridge to explore data curation and data management in physical sciences.
Via presentations and discussions, the event will enable knowledge exchange around current practices, challenges, and future directions in the curation and management of research data in physical sciences, as well as foster networking and collaboration.
The event will highlight PSDI’s work and, importantly, gather community input for identifying future priorities and activities that will support data management and curation in the physical sciences.
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.
A community discussion on opportunities and barriers in digital notetaking, this event will gather researchers, research support and technology developers together to share knowledge and experience around ERNs.
This machine learning for materials training course is being run at Daresbury Laboratory by the Physical Sciences Data Infrastructure (PSDI) initiative in collaboration with AIChemy, STFC-SCD, PSDS, CCP5 and CCP9. This training is targeted towards PhD students, in particular those in the Materials and Molecular Simulations field. The aim of this training is to introduce attendees to the latest methods of machine learning applied to atomistic simulation of materials.
The aim of this meeting is to bring together several groups who are trying to combat similar problems – how to bring the standards for scientific nomenclature and terminology into the digital age.
Are you interested in advancing the realms of polymer science? We are developing a national infrastructure focused on polymer data – both experimental and computational – to act as a FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable and resusable) repository, in conjunction with the EPSRC-funded Physical Sciences Data Infrastructure (PSDI). We want to hear from you about what sort of data we should store, what data formats that are useful, what challenges you face with data archiving, and what data-based tools and predictors would help you in your work. Ultimately, we’d like to create minimum standards for polymer characterisation and help polymer scientists to be able to store their data securely and centrally to more easily meet funder and publisher data mandates. Our pathfinder partners at Loughborough University are running a free one-day workshop on Wednesday 12th March, 2025 at Holywell Conference centre, Loughborough University, to hear your views. You’ll be able to help shape the national vision for useful polymer data and data sets, along with other like-minded people. Places are limited, so please complete the registration form https://forms.office.com/e/3q4y9SaaDc if you are interested in attending. For any queries, please email [email protected] Further details will follow in due course. We look forward to welcoming […]
