Workshop on FAIR Data in Plasma Science (FDPS-V)
The 5th Workshop on FAIR Data in Plasma Science (FDPS-V) will take place online and in-person on 11-12 May, 2026 at the Ruhr University Bochum (RUB), Germany. The workshop is a continuation of annual events on research data management in the low-temperature plasma (LTP) community in the past years. It aims to inform about current developments and to strengthen community exchange on this topic.
FDPS-V will provide an overview of successful solutions for collaborative research data management aimed at making data findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable (FAIR), thereby fostering broader use of data-driven research methods. The program will cover best practices for everyday research activities as well as infrastructure tools for research data handling. Successful examples from plasma research groups and collaborative research centers will be presented. In addition, future developments and standardization efforts for data sharing and reporting within the LTP community will be discussed.
The workshop will be held as a hybrid event, participation is free of charge.
Call for posters
Researchers, data managers, and practitioners are invited to contribute to the discussion with a poster on their solutions on research data management. Submissions that highlight real-world experiences, best practices, and insights related to the integration of FAIR principles into research workflows are encouraged.
Poster contributions must be submitted during the registration process. Please note that the number of poster spaces is limited. Register early to secure your spot (max. DIN A0, portrait format).
Registration
Please fill the registration form to register for the workshop. Attendance in person at RUB is limited, so early registration is encouraged.
