Research equipment needs PIDs. As a core component of Open Research Information, persistent identifiers (PIDs) and rich metadata for research instruments play a crucial role in ensuring research transparency, reproducibility, and long-term usability. Scientific data does not emerge in isolation—it is produced by instruments with specific configurations, calibrations, and operational contexts. Capturing and sharing this information in a structured, FAIR way is essential for understanding, validating, and reusing research outputs.
To advance this effort, the Thematic Digital Competence Center for Natural and Engineering Sciences (TDCC-NES) is organizing the FAIR4Instruments workshop, a focused, invitation-based event designed to explore how instruments and equipment can become integral, well-described elements of Open Research Information workflows.
