Dear consortium members, dear colleagues,
We would like to draw your attention to a three upcoming workshops run by our basic services IAM4NFDI and PID4NFDI, where you will have
the opportunity to engage in in-depth dialogue with the services. It would be great if you could join the events. Please feel free to pass this information on to anyone who might be interested.
You can, of course, find further information about our basic services on our website:

Best regards,
Franziska Fritzsche
On behalf of the Base4NFDI Office
IAM4NFDI Community Workshop
Do you manage user logins, roles, and access rights across your consortia services? Are external collaborators requesting temporary access
to your services and data? Curious how Virtual Organizations (VOs) and community-wide IAM solutions can simplify access management?
Join the IAM4NFDI Community AAI user meeting to learn about practical solutions and integration scenarios around AcademicID, didmos, RegApp, Unity, and InfraProxy — and exchange experiences with others across the NFDI landscape.
No registration required — just drop in!
When: Thursday,
June 18, 2–5 PM
Where: https://uni-kl-de.zoom-x.de/j/63974810038?pwd=tDdAUaaGqGn1sZtBhibbzRx19eCYzV.1
Language:
The meeting will primarily be held in German. However, everyone is welcome to speak in the language they are most comfortable with (German or English).
PID4NFDI Community Workshop
on IGSN Use Cases
The
International
Generic Sample Number (IGSN) is a globally
unique and persistent identifier (PID) for physical objects—ranging from rock samples and sediment cores to biological specimens and cultural heritage objects. By providing a machine-actionable link between samples, datasets, and publications, IGSNs ensure
that physical research materials are as FAIR as the digital data derived from them. While the
IGSN
e.V. provides the global framework, a
wide landscape of initiatives and services has emerged to support its implementation.
This
workshop serves as a dedicated coordination
space to map these activities within and around the NFDI.
Whether you are an expert user
or just starting your PID journey, join us to help synchronize IGSN activities across the NFDI landscape and bridge the gap between physical samples and the global PID ecosystem. Although this workshop focuses on use cases from the NFDI consortia, we warmly
invite colleagues and interested parties who are not active members of an NFDI consortium or a Base4NFDI project to participate in the discussion.
When:
June 04, 2026, 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM (CEST)
Where: Online via Zoom
Registration: https://gfz-de.zoom-x.de/meeting/register/inSis27DTyKBI5nAngUplw

PID4NFDI online workshop:
Building Confidence with Research Metadata at Scale
This
hands-on, online workshop empowers research support professionals to move beyond
static views of metadata and actively interrogate, assess, and act on DOI metadata at scale using the DataCite API. Using the DataCite metadata schema as a practical reference point, participants will work directly with real DOI metadata to explore which metadata
elements most strongly influence discovery, reuse, trust, and decision-making. While DataCite is used as a reference implementation, the approaches and principles discussed are applicable to other PID-based and metadata-rich infrastructures.
Rather than inspecting records one by one, the workshop introduces the DataCite API as an accessible way to turn metadata into evidence.
Participants will learn how to translate everyday institutional and research questions such as which records are missing licenses, how well ORCIDs or RORs are adopted, or which outputs are funded by a specific organisation into concrete, reproducible API queries.
The focus is not on software development, but on practical metadata literacy: understanding how metadata is structured, how it can be queried systematically, and how enriched metadata can be used to support curation, reporting, policy monitoring, remediation
planning, and decision-making.
This workshop is aimed at repository managers, data stewards, PID infrastructure providers, and analysts working with DOI metadata. It
is particularly suitable for professionals who engage with metadata operationally but have limited or no experience working with APIs.
When: June
15, 2026, 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM (CEST)
