We're really looking forward to the Semantic X-Lab: Bridging Laboratory Metadata and Semantic Knowledge Discovery workshop at #HMCConference2026
It builds on the HMC Semantic X-Lab project 👉 https://helmholtz-metadaten.de/semanticxlab
If you are interested in metadata, laboratory workflows, and knowledge graphs (and let's face it - among our followers, who isn't? 😄 ) this workshop will be a great opportunity to learn more about the project, exchange ideas, and head into the conference plenary inspired!

💙 #LoveDataWeek 2026 | Day 4: Sustain it FAIR
Sustainable research data management goes beyond storage.
Clear licensing ensures that data can be legally and confidently reused — today and in the future.
🎥 As part of our #HMC_FAIRfriday series, Till Kreutzer (iRights)explained Creative Commons (#CC) licences and their implications for research data.
The recording is now available via the @TIB_AVPortal@openbiblio.social and reusable anytime.
