The Aalto Materials Digitalisation Platform (AMAD) is a modular, digital research platform for materials data. It provides digital tools, such as electronic notebooks, data management, procedure tracking, post-processing, simulation tools, automation software, and the dissemination of results. And because AMAD is web-based, it facilitates collaboration across campus or around the world.
AMAD’s purpose is to connect different stakeholders to advance materials design and development so that academia, industry, government, and society can benefit from Open Science. AMAD facilitates the collection, documentation, management, analysis, sharing and reusing of data in line with the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) principles, which publicly supported research organizations and funding bodies require. It also enables the use of digital research tools, machine learning, and automation.
