Astromat

The Astromaterials Data System, NASA’s designated archive for laboratory analytical data of returned samples, will host a workshop in conjunction with the 88th Annual Meteoritical Society Meeting on August 9, 2026 in Frankfurt, Germany.

This 2-part, free workshop aims to help researchers navigate the landscape of astromaterials sample data, from finding and accessing lab analytical data, to generating Open Science Data Management Plans (OSDMPs) for funding proposals, to documenting their own lab analytical data following community best practices, to depositing and archiving data in compliance with funders’ and journals’ policies. We specifically aim at early-career researchers to help them develop skills in digital cosmochemistry and make them aware of the resources available to support their data management.
