The HMC Conference is the flagship annual event of the Helmholtz Metadata Collaboration (HMC) – a meeting place for everyone passionate about turning data into impact and bringing metadata to life.
Each year, the conference unites experts from science, infrastructure, technology, and data stewardship to explore cutting-edge developments in FAIR data, metadata quality, semantics, interoperability, and AI-driven research workflows.
The HMC Conference 2026, themed “Metadata in Action,” showcased practical solutions, innovative applications, and inspiring success stories from across the research landscape.
