h2020 CHARISMA

🎉 Celebrating the success of the CHARISMA in our final project newsletter After four transformative years, the EU-funded CHARISMA project has concluded, delivering ground-breaking advancements in #RamanSpectroscopy for industry, academia and many other stakeholders. From new hardware/software and reference samples to open-source tools and protocols, CHARISMA has set new standards in fields like chemical processing, product authentication, and food safety. 🌍🔍 In this newsletter, you'll read some of the many #happymoments and progress CHARISMA has had so far! You're also kindly invited to explore our consortium made up of brilliant partners for future collaborations and endeavours! Enjoy it! 🎉 https://lnkd.in/dHY9pq_Y #characterisation #harmonisation #standardisation #advancedmaterials #FAIRdata

🎬 Our final project video is now live! This time, we focused on CHARISMA’s impactful results. In this video, our project partners discuss the most important aspects of the project outcomes, offering insights into key achievements and future potential. Watch it now to learn more about how CHARISMA is advancing innovation in #characterisation, #harmonisation and #standardisation of #advancedmaterials using #Raman spectroscopy! https://loom.ly/yTb6ebc

🔔 Closing the CHARISMA Final Event with talks from the #Raman experts As we bring our final event to a close, we’d like to express our sincere thanks to the external speakers from the Raman community for their valuable contributions. Their presentations provided critical insights into both #Ramanspectroscopy and the evolving landscape of #datamanagement: 🔹 Alex Henderson (Manchester Institute of Biotechnology – MIB): FAIR Spectra: Enabling the FAIRification of Spectroscopy and Spectrometry 🔹 Zdeněk Pilát (Czech Academy of Sciences): #RamanBase: it's high time for revolution in handling and sharing of Raman-spectroscopic data 🔹 Chris Sturm (Universität Leipzig): #FAIR data management using the #NeXus data format 🔹 Natalie Belsey (NPL & University of Surrey): Practical considerations for quantitative measurements with stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) microscopy 🔹 Anacleto Proietti (Sapienza University of Rome) & Stefan Wundrack (Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt): Towards a Standardized Method for Strain Analysis in Semiconductor Devices: A Focus on the CHALLENGES Project (Real-time Nano Characterization Related Technologies) 🔹 Julien Gorenflot (King Abdullah University of Science and Technology): Example of FAIR #data implementation on multiple experiments for Material Science using #NOMAD and NEXUS format A heartfelt thank you to these speakers for sharing their expertise and helping drive meaningful discussions today! 🙏

🌟 Afternoon session kicks off at the CHARISMA Final Event! The afternoon session is now underway! Our partner Frederik Tielens has just started his presentation on "Modelling #Raman Spectroscopy of Materials." #materialsmodelling #harmonisation #standardisation

🌟 Morning Session Recap: Charisma Final Event at CSIC BRUSELAS We’ve just wrapped up a highly engaging morning session at our Final Event! Attendees were treated to an exciting lineup of talks focused on the CHARISMA project and #Ramanspectroscopy applications. As we break for lunch, we’re looking forward to an equally stimulating afternoon, packed with more in-depth exploration of #FAIR Raman #data.

We are at CSIC premises in Brussels (CSIC BRUSELAS) and CHARISMA's final project event has started! We'll have a full day of all about #Raman #data and #harmonisation! Miguel A. Bañares and Raquel Portela Rodríguez, our very own project coordinators, opening the meeting!

Job opening: NPL, the UK’s National Metrology Institute, is looking for an extra team member to join the #Raman/SRS group (permanent position), ideally with hands-on #optics experience and #data skills. https://lnkd.in/dQbxCpZZ

Two new European standards will facilitate harmonization of #Raman instruments and data: 💡 CWA 18133 Raman instruments calibration and verification protocols (https://lnkd.in/dx9RCH23) 💡 CWA 18134 Raman instruments twinning protocol (https://lnkd.in/dmfEa3YV) Both documents (freely available from the links above) are valuable tools for easing, extending and improving the use of Raman spectroscopy in industrial and research applications. This initiative was originated in h2020 CHARISMA project, focused in harmonization of Raman Spectroscopy for characterisation. The standardization work proved to be attractive also for organizations external to the project representing more than half of the participants. Manufactures, users and researchers in Raman spectroscopy coming from inside and outside Europe joined efforts in this task. UNE Asociación Española de Normalización acted as Secretariat of the CEN Workshop and also participates in CHARISMA, leading the tasks aimed to transfer the results to recognized and openly developed standards to facilitate their market uptake and to feed the standardization system with innovative topics. #StandardsPlusInnovation

🎉 New CWAs are online and available for download! We’re introducing the latest #CWAs providing standardised methods for data management and integration, focusing on modelling workflows and materials #characterisation. 🔬 The CHADA framework streamlines data interaction for complex case studies. ➡️ CWA 18133 | #Raman instruments calibration and verification protocols ➡️ CWA 18134 | Raman instruments #twinning protocol Read and download from our website: https://lnkd.in/gjUWkKZr
