Physical Sciences Data Infrastructure

An integrated data infrastructure for empowering your physical sciences data and streamlining your processes (Heading 5)
PSDI accelerates research in the physical sciences, supporting researchers in chemistry, materials sciences and related fields by building on the data systems they already use. We provide access to diverse data sources, services, and tools, along with guidance and training for researchers and those who support them.

Connecting Digital Research Infrastructures for the Physical Sciences

The aim of PSDI is to enable researchers in the physical sciences to handle data more easily by connecting the different data infrastructures they use. PSDI will connect and enhance existing infrastructure in Physical Sciences.

Through PSDI researchers will be able to:

  • Find and Access to reference quality data from commercial and open sources
  • Combine data from different sources
  • Share data, software and models including experimental and simulation data
  • Use AI to explore data
  • Learn how to make the results of their research open and FAIR
We are currently undertaking a phase of work from October 2022 – September 2023. You can find out more about this on our Current Work pages. This builds on the work undertaken in the PSDI pilot phase, which ran from November 2021 – March 2022.

In this pilot phase we undertook community engagement, scoping and design work and as an output of the pilot work we produced a series of recommendations.

Our team

Our large team is spread across multiple institutions, departments and geographic sites in the United Kingdom. The core of the team are based at the Rutherford Appleton & Daresbury Laboratory sites of STFC (Science and Technology Facilities Council) and the University of Southampton. Staff at these locations are also joined by a number of partner organisations. To find out more, please go to our Team Page or click View All People below.
