Manage your organization's research data on your own infrastructure with NOMAD Oasis. Open source, developed by FAIRmat within Germany's NFDI initiative, and used by research groups, network projects, and institutions across Europe and beyond.
Keep control of research data, establish consistent practices across projects, and build on an open ecosystem instead of starting from scratch.
Run NOMAD Oasis on infrastructure you operate, integrate institutional storage and identity services, and choose what to publish to NOMAD Central Platform.
Use shared and customizable schemas to manage structured, machine-actionable data consistently across projects and support FAIR data practices.
Reuse FAIRmat- and community-developed plugins, templates, tools, and integrations, then adapt NOMAD to your domain and institutional workflows.
Give your lab a shared environment to collect, organize, analyze, and prepare research data for publication.
Provide teams across your institution with shared infrastructure connected to existing storage, identity services, and policies.
Coordinate data across partner institutions through shared schemas, workflows, and controlled data exchange.
My group developed CrystaLLM, a language model for generating plausible structures for new compounds. Training an accurate model required millions of compatible crystal structures. NOMAD provided a large portion of the training data, with detailed and structured metadata to help us curate a high-quality training set.
In our lab, we need to keep track of how each thin-film sample was produced, including the target materials, process conditions, and characterization data and analysis. We use NOMAD Oasis to connect these pieces automatically as part of the experimental workflow. This gives us the complete sample history and makes previous experiments easy to trace and compare.
NOMAD combines transparent public governance, demonstrated research uptake, and more than a decade of open development.
FAIRmat is a consortium of German research institutions operating under the NFDI framework. Publicly funded and transparently governed.
The NOMAD platform paper has 213 citations, and around 656 publications reference a NOMAD-minted DOI in their data availability statement. Read from Google Scholar in July 2026.
Over a decade of continuous development, backed by recurring EU and German federal funding. Fully open source under Apache 2.0.
NOMAD does not operate in isolation. It connects with the broader European and German research data infrastructure.
NOMAD is developed by FAIRmat as part of Germany's National Research Data Infrastructure, connecting domain communities and shared services.
NOMAD is one of the use cases helping connect German research data services with the European Open Science Cloud.
NOMAD is one of the initial infrastructures being integrated into MaterialsCommons, a federated European ecosystem for materials data, tools, and workflows.
Run NOMAD Oasis directly with your own team, or work with a managed deployment partner. Both paths keep you on the same open technology base.
Use the open-source NOMAD Oasis stack and deploy on your own infrastructure with full operational control.
Partner with Glaide Data for managed deployment and adoption support based on the NOMAD Oasis platform.
