Participants also had the opportunity to showcase their facilities through posters, which were displayed in the break area to encourage interaction and discussion.

Cultivating Exchange Between Core Facilities in Materials Science

This workshop brought together individuals who use, manage, and coordinate materials science-oriented Core Facilities across European institutions.

Our goal was to foster connections, facilitate discussions, and exchange insights on key topics, including:

  • Scientific advances enabled by Core Facilities
  • Roles and governance structures of Core Facilities
  • Methods and software for managing facilities
  • Data management in Core Facilities, e.g. common data formats or ontologies
  • Public outreach
  • Collaboration between Core Facilities, opportunities and funding programmes

 

Additionally, we organized lab tours at the University of Bremen on Tuesday and Friday, offering attendees a closer look at the facilities and fostering deeper engagement.
