The 18th European Congress and Exhibition on Advanced Materials and Processes, FEMS EUROMAT 2025, is now underway in Granada, Spain. Gerhard spoke to a full conference room with his keynote talk entitled: EMMO Ontology: enabling AI-based innovative advanced materials development: the CoBRAIN Knowledge Base for Hardmetal Thermal Spraying Coatings. This keynote talk formed part of the […]
Are you going to be at the FEMS EUROMAT 2025 meeting next week? The 18th European Congress and Exhibition on Advanced Materials and Processes will run from Sunday 14–Thursday 18 September 2025 in Granada, Spain. The meeting and exhibition will cover a whole range of topics, including materials characterisation, testing and mechanical properties, modelling and […]
Last week, all partners from the BatCAT project met at The Catalyst in Newcastle, UK for a consortium meeting that marked the halfway stage of the project. Representatives from the partner organisations reviewed and discussed progress, exchanged ideas, and charted the course for the project’s next steps. This successful meeting was an opportunity to see […]
Semantic Materials Workshop 2025 Knowledge Organisation Challenges and Solutions for Chemicals and Materials-Based Industries Monday 10 November 2025 Homerton College, Cambridge, UK Save the date! We’re excited to announce that, following our very popular event last year, the Semantic Materials Workshop will be returning for 2025. This year’s event will provide a unique […]
This week (16 and 17 June 2025), Gerhard Goldbeck is attending a two-day workshop hosted by the Physical Sciences Data Infrastructure (PSDI). The PSDI Materials Community Workshop is taking place in Manchester, UK, and covers a number of topics including: Metadata and standards Electronic research tools and automation Workflows tools and reproducibility Data-driven applications and […]
We are delighted to announce the launch of Semantic Materials, a new venture that delivers science- and analytics-based knowledge organisation systems to industrial and research communities across Europe. Semantic Materials forms the semantic technologies branch of Goldbeck Consulting that brings together experts in science and engineering, and analytic philosophy to design and develop ontologies for […]
Today, the EMMC 2025 International Workshop — EMMC2025 — kicks off three days’ of events at the University of Vienna, Austria. The workshop takes place every other year and this year the theme is “Accelerated Innovation and Sustainability by a Materials Modelling and Data Ecosystem”. The theme will be looked at from many angles including: […]
Within materials science, there is often the need to combine lots of data and models to facilitate innovation and standardise approaches. One method is to use Easy-MODA, a free web tool that helps researchers document and register the complex modelling workflows they use. Workflows often combine physics-based models (like quantum simulations) and data-driven models (such […]
Training for the new CHADA has now been published and is available. CHADA – CHAracterization DAta – is an approach used for the definition of terminology, classification and metadata for materials characterization methods. The method aims to provide a standard structure capable of representing all materials characterization data. CHADA was originally developed in 2019, however […]
We are pleased to announce the 1.0.0 release of the Elementary Multiperspective Material Ontology (EMMO). This release is a major milestone in a multidisciplinary effort to develop a standard representational framework for the materials and manufacturing sectors, and a culmination of more than seven years of development and collaboration by many projects within the EMMC […]
