The 2023 Annual Meeting provides a deep dive into materials data and data infrastructure preparedness for the rapid acceleration in both AI use and AI capabilities. Join us for presentations and discussions about community collaboration and working groups to advance MGI priorities. Learn and provide feedback about the OSTP Nelson Memorandum on Equitable Access, the CHIPS Act, and interagency efforts to support FAIR data and infrastructure to drive materials innovation.
The meeting includes ~3.5 hours of short presentations, panel discussions, and workshops each day. 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.
(Please note that the meeting, Feb 21-23, will be recorded.)
