Link to Agenda and Registration Page
MaRDA2022 provides a deep dive into the revised MGI Strategic Plan (“MGI 2.0”) and includes ~3.5 hours of expert presentations, panel discussions, and working group reports each day. This year’s meeting will host a student poster session with awards for posters that best exemplify MGI approaches to materials discovery and design. Participants are welcome to attend any or all days. Registration and membership in MaRDA is free and open to all materials data stakeholders interested in the mission of MaRDA. More information will be available by the end of January at https://marda-alliance.org/.
The MaRDA Mission: The Materials Research Data Alliance (MaRDA) is a community-led network focused on connecting and integrating U.S. materials research data infrastructure to realize the promise of open, accessible, and interoperable materials data. Each of these elements are aligned with the goals of the Materials Genome Initiative (MGI). MaRDA provides a platform that promotes the convergence of ideas, people, data, and tools to accelerate discovery, enable new insights into materials mechanisms, and lay the foundation for both human-centered and artificial intelligence-assisted approaches to materials design. MaRDA is governed by an elected council that promotes the interests of materials data researchers nationally and internationally, and coordinates the efforts of MaRDA.
Meeting Co-Chairs: Dr. Olga Wodo (University at Buffalo), Dr. Maria Chan (Argonne National Laboratory), and Dr. Zachary Trautt (National Institute of Standards and Technology)
