Big discussions at the BIG-MAP workshop

This week, Gerhard Goldbeck participated in the BIG-MAP EUnified Battery Data Space Workshop in Grindelwald, Switzerland. The BIG-MAP project is part of the Battery 2030+ initiative that works to define best practice in battery research and ensure a strong European battery knowledge-base for future generations.

This workshop covered a range of digital aspects of battery research — data capture and management, data models, ontologies, modelling and AI – for a range of people and projects involved in this challenging, fast-moving field.

Over the last few days, Gerhard has taken part in two, lively ‘Big Picture’ panel sessions and discussions. He presented pertinent community developments from the European Materials Modelling Council (EMMC) including governance of the European Materials Modelling Ontology (EMMO), which is fast becoming the ontology framework of choice underpinning a unified battery data space of the future.
