mastodon 4.7.2⚗️ We help chemists to handle their data from measure to publish.
📑We build an open + FAIR infrastructure for research data management.
🧑🔬Non-profit, community-driven
We are celebrating a fantastic start to our Consortium Meeting 7.0 🚀
The programme features exciting keynote speeches and discussions about the work over the next three years, as well as meetings with our Advisory Boards, some of whom have been with us since 2020, whilst others are new to the group. A meeting was also held with representatives from other Consortia.
We look forward to two days of working with all existing and new participants 😍

🚀 Chemists spend too much time on tools – instead of letting them do the work for them.
This video shows you how to draw molecules, convert formats and analyse substructures – faster and smarter.
👉 youtu.be/HfMY4BA54X8
Why spend vast sums on commercial chemistry software? We want digital sovereignty for science. NFDI4Chem and FID Chemistry are planning an open-source alternative for drawing chemical structures.
Your voice counts:
Help us determine the real needs of the community.
Let's shape the future of structure representation together.

It is already possible today to store your research data FAIR. Do you want to lead the way? Then apply with your FAIR data set for the #FAIR4Chem Award 2025 and a 500 euro prize! 💰
Imagine months of your research suddenly disappearing. 💥
This is where the 3-2-1 rule comes in:
🔁 3 copies of your data
💾 2 different storage media
🌍 1 external copy (e.g. in a secure infrastructure)
This is how you protect your results from hardware failures, cyber attacks or human error. 🔐
👉 Backing up is not an option. It is part of good scientific practice.
