Abstract: The NFDI4Chem consortium builds a national research data infrastructure to enable FAIR data practices across chemistry. By integrating digital lab tools such as Chemotion, federated repositories, semantic standards and community training, it fosters interoperable, AI-ready data. In its second phase, NFDI4Chem focuses more on physical chemistry and advances a semantic data hub and Chemistry Knowledge Graph to anchor sustainable, data-driven research.
