Beschreibung

The NAPMIX (Nuclear, Astro, and Particle Metadata Integration for eXperiments) Training Workshop 2026 will take place at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM), hosted by the CNA–CMAM collaboration. The workshop is organised within the framework of the OSCARS funded NAPMIX project and aims to present the current technical implementation of the NAPMIX metadata schema and its integration into Research Data Management (RDM) workflows across participating Research Infrastructures.

The event will introduce the NAPMIX data model, frontend platform, and metadata enrichment strategies, highlighting how they support FAIR principles and interoperability with existing infrastructures such as PUNCH4NFDI and other domain-specific systems. The workshop will also provide practical insights into how different laboratories organise RDM and how NAPMIX complements existing data management landscapes.

The programme is structured as a two-day hybrid event. The first day will focus on technical and administrative aspects, including schema architecture, API integration, and deployment considerations. The second day will target a broader scientific audience and include practical demonstrations and a hands-on session where participants can explore the platform and provide feedback.

The workshop serves both as a dissemination activity and as an opportunity to collect feedback from the community in order to further optimise the NAPMIX platform and metadata workflows in the next development phase.
