Workshop on FAIR Data in Plasma Science (FDPS-IV)
The 4th Workshop on FAIR Data in Plasma Science (FDPS-IV) will take place online and in-person on 12-13 May, 2025 at the Leibniz Institute for Plasma Science and Technology (INP) in Greifswald, 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.
The workshop is intended to provide an overview over successful solutions for collaborative research data management with the goal to make data findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable (FAIR), finally supporting the broader use of data-driven research methods. This includes best practice in day-to-day research work as well as infrastructure tools for handling of research data. Successful examples from plasma research groups and collaborative research centers will be presented and we will discuss the further development of data sharing and reporting standards for the LTP community.
Venue
The workshop will be held as a hybrid meeting. The on-site event will take place at
Leibniz Institute for Plasma Science and Technology (INP)

Call for posters
We invite researchers, data managers, and practitioners to contribute posters to the workshop focusing on the practical adoption of research data management tools. We encourage submissions that highlight real-world experiences, best practices, and insights related to the integration of FAIR principles into research workflows. Whether you are facing hurdles in tool adoption, have developed successful strategies, or wish to share case studies from your institution, your contributions are vital to fostering a collaborative dialogue in this area. Join us in advancing the future of research data management and promoting a culture of FAIR data.
Poster contributions must be submitted during the registration process. Please note that the number of poster spaces is limited, so early registration is encouraged to secure your spot (max. DIN A0, portrait format).
Registration
Please fill the registration form to register for the workshop. Registration is free of charge. Attendance in person at INP is limited, so early registration is encouraged.
