LaTeX From Beginner to Publication Ready!

We are happy to announce a new workshop in the Carpentries format: “LaTeX for Academic Publishing” This time the event will take place on November 30th @ RWTH Aachen. The workshop will cover a variety of topics beyond an introduction to LaTeX, including how to structure a large project, incorporating LaTeX into a code project, managing a bibliography, using TikZ for custom diagrams, and applying a Journal template to your project.

Workshop material is available online and will be presented by instructors who will walk you through the steps and are available for questions throughout the event. The event is open for all participants affiliated with a research institution in Germany. Participants should have a basic understanding of how to write and compile a simple LaTeX document (See our workshop on November 23rd!)

As always, this event is free of charge thanks to BMFTR funding!

If you are interested, you can register and find more information via this link.

All workshop material is also available online on GitHub: Link to repository (!Under Construction!)

Spring School 2025 in Aachen – Research Data Management in Materials Science and Engineering

Enabling a consistent and unobstructed standardization of research data will lead to substantial improvements in efficiency and synergies/collaboration among individual researchers and well-designed IT systems. In the era of digital infrastructures, this measure holds paramount importance in shaping the future of research. For the data to be sustainable and reusable, it must adhere to the “FAIR Data Principles”, meaning it should be “Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Re-usable”. The FAIR principles will be a cornerstone of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) implementation. Nowadays, Data Management Plans (DMPs) have become a requirement for project applications in Horizon Europe and are increasingly being demanded by various funding organizations, including the German Science Foundation (DFG), among others. The scientific consortium NFDI-MatWerk (National Research Data Infrastructure) focuses on the research area Materials Science & Materials Engineering (MSE). The central challenge is the digital representation of materials and their relevant process and load parameters. NFDI-MatWerk will provide in this summer school tailored information and solutions for dealing with research data in MSE.
