OntoTrans project final video
Here at GCL, we have been involved with EU Project OntoTrans for the last four years. The project will finish in a few months, but OntoTrans has been a great project to be involved with and several of the project’s developments will continue on after the end date.
Details of new ventures are coming soon, but for now here is a great final video that summarises all of the research and innovation efforts in just a couple of minutes!
Take a look here.
Sign up for Gerhard’s webinar hosted by Materials Square
On 30 April at 1–2 pm (BST), Gerhard will be presenting this month’s webinar hosted by Materials Square.
The presentation, entitled “How is materials modeling working for the industry?”, will discuss the role of and challenges for materials modeling in supporting the industry in its quest to respond to complex challenges, such as increased sustainability and digitalization.
Although materials modeling combines well with powerful data-driven techniques, its full potential is not always understood throughout organisations. So, the focus will be on market trends and the need for integration of materials modeling in digitalisation initiatives.
The Materials Square webinar series is free to attend – Register here to reserve your place
Materials Square is a web-based materials simulation platform for research and development managed by Virtual Lab Inc. based in Seoul, South Korea.

Harmonising materials modelling and characterisation
Outcomes from two current EU-funded projects that Goldbeck Consulting are involved in — NanoMECommons and OntoTrans — have been presented and discussed with attendees as part of a joint NMBP-35 workshop in Madrid.
The NMBP-35 workshop, combined under the umbrella of the European Materials Characterisation Council (EMCC) and European Materials Modelling Council (EMMC), formed part of a broader, 3-day meeting that incorporated a general assembly and a project review meeting for NanoMECommons.
There was significant interest from the community in improved data and knowledge management, harmonising materials modelling and characterisation.
With numerous projects, both old and new, actively using the characterisation data standard for materials, CHADA, and the template for the standardised description of materials modelling, MODA, we look forward to continued strong collaborations in the context of EMCC and EMMC.
Supported by the NanoMECommons project, we will work together to shape a new CEN Workshop Agreement for updating CHADA and MODA based on recent ontology developments.
Announcing the BatCAT project
BatCAT is a new research and innovation project funded by the EU’s Horizon Europe programme that will run until June 2027.
The project aims to create a digital twin for battery manufacturing by developing a cross-chemistry data space for two technologies: Li-ion and Li-S coin cells and redox flow batteries.
Here at GCL, we are excited to be leading the work package on communication, dissemination and exploitation and contributing to physics-based modelling and ontologies.
The project is a large collaboration between 18 partner organisations from 9 European countries, coordinated by NMBU (Norwegian University of Life Sciences).
We look forward to working on this innovative and sustainable initiative.

Reflecting on 2023!
As 2023 draws to a close, here at Goldbeck Consulting, we have been reflecting on our successes from this year. Thanks to all of the support from you — our clients, partners and collaborators — there have been lots of highlights!
We have had the privilege to be involved with six EU projects. Two of these projects have now successfully completed, MarketPlace and OntoCommons, and four that we look forward to continuing work on throughout next year, OntoTrans, OpenModel, nanoMECommons, and DOME 4.0.
Our work in EU projects and with consulting clients has enabled us to participate in several events, like FEMS EUROMAT 2023, Nanotexnology, OIP-2023 Conference and Scientific Applications of Quantum Computing.
And our collaborative efforts have resulted in a number of publications and reports:
Materials Modelling and Informatics Software Market
MarketPlace – a Digital Materials Modelling Marketplace
The Translator in Knowledge Management for Innovation – A Semantic Vocation of Value to Industry
Fundamental Philosophical Commitments for Top-Level Ontologies
Science Communication and Social Media Work as Part of the OntoTrans Project
Review and Alignment of Domain-Level Ontologies for Materials Science
CHAMEO: Characterisation Methodology Ontology
We look forward to an exciting new year to work with both existing and new partners, clients and projects. We will continue to work and consult in the areas of software industry insights, exploitation and business planning and all things related to materials modelling, informatics, ontologies and semantic knowledge management.
Here’s to a prosperous New Year filled with continued collaboration and success!
