Conference Advanced Materials Safety 2023

|   Nano Termine

8.-10. November 2023, Saarbrücken

Die Konferenz »Advanced Materials Safety 2023« bietet ein hochgradig interdisziplinäres Forum um aktuelle Fortschritte zu diskutieren und aktuelle und künftige Herausforderungen auf dem Gebiet der Sicherheit fortgeschrittener Werkstoffe zu erörtern. Sie bringt führende Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler zusammen, um wissenschaftliche, regulatorische und anwendungsorientierte Aspekte der Sicherheit fortgeschrittener Materialien eingehend und aus verschiedenen Blickwinkeln zu diskutieren, mit dem Ziel, sichere und nachhaltige, funktionale und akzeptierte fortgeschrittene Materialien zu entwickeln.

Workshops

1. Workshop – Communicating materials safety

Communicating current scientific research and research results to the public is always a challenge. With the topic of Advanced Materials Safety, we find ourselves at the interface of three fields at once:

  • the structures of the materials are usually extremely small and thus difficult to imagine for people outside the field
  • the effects of the materials can usually only be determined indirectly – measurable, but rarely directly visible
  • the perception of opportunities and, above all, of risks is very differently shaped individually.

The aim of the workshop is to present basic principles and communication formats relevant to the topic of Advanced Materials Safety in theory and in practice. The focus will be on the communication of opportunities and risks as well as the format of 360° videos. The makers of the DaNa platform will share their experiences from 14 years of communicating properties and potential risks of Advanced Materials. During the lunch break following the workshop, everyone is invited to try out selected communication activities from the Leibniz Research Alliance Advanced Materials Safety. A poster on the DaNa knowledge base will invite further discussion during the poster session and after the workshop.

2. Workshop – Digital infrastructure: documenting and publishing materials safety data

The Advanced Materials Safety community is composed of researchers from different scientific fields, each with unique information requirements, methodologies, terminologies and levels of digitization expertise. As a result, data interpretation is hampered by the existence of different data types and a lack of standardized descriptions and quality criteria, which can lead to misinterpretation. eNanoMapper represents a state-of-the-art database for this community.

While data management and sharing tools such as Electronic Lab Notebooks (ELNs) are widely used in industry, analogue workflows are still dominant in academia. This approach might lead to errors in data generation which are later difficult to trace back. During the workshop we will therefore discuss the error culture in science and how errors are managed in the academic environment and beyond: We will explore how errors can be minimized – and how they can positively impact the research process.

The BMBF project DaNa has established a web-based knowledge base to share data on the safety of advanced materials with both the scientific community and the public. The project curates data from scientific publications according to a catalogue of criteria to ensure the validity of the information. SOPs are playing an increasingly important role. Therefore, the project provides a template and a listing of such work instructions for download online. Nevertheless, in many databases data upload processes are not currently automated, making seamless data findability and accessibility extremely difficult and frustrating for researchers.

In this workshop we want to share some of our experiences made so far in NFDI4Chem and transfer our knowledge to the multidisciplinary community dealing with aspects of the safety of advanced materials. Our aim is to provide ideas and best-practice examples to generate an RDM approach towards a FAIR infrastructure also in this multidisciplinary sector.
