NFDI4Microbiota Coffee Talk Series 2026: Dates and Talks have been updated

by Magel, Maja

Dear microbiology enthusiasts, please note that we have updated our Coffee Talk schedule. The biggest changes in short, more information below: * The date in June changed to July 6th. After the 1 hour introduction, the talk will morph into a hands-on demonstration. Please register for a separate Zoom link: Transforming Prokaryotic Taxonomy with TAXA-KG (July 6, 2026) · HIFIS and Helmholtz Events (Indico)<https://events.hifis.net/event/4221/> * The date changed to October 19th. The set-up: For 2026, we are presenting a Tandem Coffee Talk approach that aims to connect current state-of-the-art microbiome research presented by a guest speaker, followed by an overview of related NFDI services offering current Research Data Management solutions to the presented scientific field. Our goal is to combine scientific insight with hands-on RDM solutions, so participants leave with both a broader perspective and something they can apply directly to their own work. ________________________________ 📢 Coffee Talk 2026 Series Details 📅 Date: bi-monthly Mondays in 2026 February, 23rd- Viral Ecology and Omics presented by Prof. Dr. Bas E. Dutilh (Excellence Cluster "Balance of the Microverse", University of Jena) and NFDI4Microbiota's VirJenDB service presented by Dr. Noriko Cassman (University of Jena) April, 28th - 8th NFDI4Microbiota Community Workshop “Looking back, looking forward: Practical tools to support your research” by Prof. Dr. Konrad U. Förstner (ZB MED Information Centre for Life Sciences, Cologne) July, 6th - Transforming Prokaryotic Taxonomy with Knowledge Graphs presented by Vanessa Scharf M.Sc.
