  Day 2 at #RDAPlenary27 brought big questions around sustainable research infrastructures, AI-ready data & interoperability. A highlight for #HMC: Maximilian Inckmann’s Ideas Pitch on #FAIR Digital Objects for machine-actionable #Metadata social followed by lively discussions on PIDs, implementations & collaboration. Another takeaway: FAIR alone isn’t enough – trust, federation, UX & strong communities matter too. And perhaps the best motto of the day: “Don’t compete....

  That’s a wrap on #RDAPlenary27! 🌍 Day 3 brought discussions on data resilience and a strong HMC presence in the Sample Type Classification WG – from FAIR AIMS & IGSN to SEPIA and a shared sample classification. A favourite takeaway: "Metadata is a journey!” Thanks to RDA, UKRI & the community for three inspiring days of exchange in London. Next: virtual #RDA in March 2027, then in person in September 27 in Cape Town! #FAIRdata #Metadata #OpenScience #Metadata #RDA #...

  Another day at #HAICON26 delivered plenty of inspiring conversations. The HMC booth remained busy throughout Day 2, with many visitors interested in metadata, interoperability and FAIR research data. One topic stood out in particular: Knowledge Graphs. We had many discussions about accessing and using the HMC Knowledge Graph, APIs, metadata harmonization and interoperability across research domains. #AIforScience #HMC #KnowledgeGraphs #FAIRData #OpenScience @helmholtz_ai @HelmholtzImaging

  🎉 A great #HAICON26 comes to an end. Many thanks to the organizers and everyone who stopped by! One thing we'll take home: metadata is definitely a topic people want to talk about. Many visitors stopped by the HMC booth asking: "What is HMC and how can you support me?" If you missed us in Munich, feel free to join one of our biweekly HMC Open Office Hours. #AIforScience #HMC #FAIRData @helmholtz_ai
