MaRDIbooth@Gamm2026

Welcome to the MaRDI Booth @ GAMM 2026. We offer dedicated thematic sessions about what MaRDI can do for you. The booth also serves as a meeting point for anyone interested in research data and software during the entire conference. We are looking forward to meeting you there!

Introduction to MaRDI services

MathAlgoDB is an open, curated knowledge graph for algorithms in applied mathematics and scientific computing. It systematically links algorithms, problem classes, mathematical properties, implementations, and key publications in a machine-readable and citable form. MathAlgoDB can be used to discover relevant methods, compare algorithmic approaches, and make algorithmic knowledge reusable across disciplines and software ecosystems.

Check the Timetable for introductions to MathAlgoDB at the MaRDI booth.

MathModDB is a curated knowledge base for mathematical models. It focuses on models and their application in various scientific fields, combining them with their underlying formulations and quantities. MathModDB makes mathematical models findable, comparable, reusable across disciplines, and explicitly citable.

MaRDMO is a plugin for the Research Data Management Organiser that supports standardized documentation of mathematical models and algorithms using the MathModDB and MathAlgoDB ontologies, as well as interdisciplinary workflows, through structured questionnaires. It enables the reuse of items from the MaRDI Portal and Wikidata within the documentation and allows results to be published directly on the MaRDI Portal.

MaRDI Open Interfaces is a software package that aims at alleviating two hurdles that computational scientists face in their work: discrepancies in interfaces of different solvers for the same numerical problem type and cross-language-barrier, both of which require significant coding and testing efforts. Stop by to see how this package helps with switching from one solver to another by providing common interfaces and translating data automatically.

The MaRDI Help Desk serves as a general contact point, an entryway to get to know MaRDI and its team, and it supports researchers with all questions concerning mathematical research data. For example, it offers guidance on making mathematical research data FAIR, assists with writing research data management plans for funding proposals and gives practical advice on how to handle research data.

Talk to us at the booth or visit the MaRDI Help Desk online.

MaRDIFlow is both a theoretical framework and a software tool that lets the user describe, document, manage, and execute workflows as they naturally appear during simulation and data processing in scientific computing and computational engineering. MaRDIFlow stands out in the zoo of workflow-management tools by supporting a multilayered and possibly redundant description and realization of the individual workflow components.

Meet the experts

Highly renowned international experts in the field are available at our booth for discussions and any question you may have. Just step by, note the detailed timetable.

Prof. Dr. Peter Benner is one of the directors of the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics of Complex Technical Systems, a honorary professor at Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg, a member of acatech, the elected spokesperson of the DFG Review Board for Mathematics, and is taking leadership in a range of international Math- and STEM-related initiatives. Within the National Research Data Initiative, he is PI in MaRDI, and involved in the NFDI4CAT consortium.

Prof. Dr. Jürg Kramer is the current and former president of the Deutsche Mathematiker Vereinigung DMV, a full professor of Mathematics and Educational Mathematics at Humboldt University Berlin, and among other honours, a member of acatech and Academia Europaea. He has taken leadership roles in MATHEON, the Cluster of Excellence MATH+ and the Berlin Mathematical School. As the DMV president, his main expertise in our booth is outreach, collaboration and synergy on the national and international level.

Prof. Dr. Dominik Göddeke is professor for Computational Mathematics at the University of Stuttgart. He is a PI within MaRDI and the Cluster of Excellence "Data-integrated Simulation Technology", and is or has been involved in a range of Priority Programs and Collaborative Research Centres with a data focus. Dominik is happy to answer questions on interdisciplinarity.

Dr. Jens Saak is team leader at the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics of Complex Technical Systems, a spokesperson of the GAMM activity group on Research Software Engineering and Research Data Management in Mathematics & Mechanics and GMA activity group 2.13 Modelling, Identification and Simulation in Automatic Control. As part of MaRDI, he is member of the MaRDI Council and the technical lead of the Benchmarking measure in the task area on Scientific Computing.

Play an interactive research-data game

MaRDI video game: Come and play our single-player online adventure! The video game offers a playful and educational introduction to research data management in mathematics. You will learn about MathModDB, MathAlgoDB, and other services developed for applied mathematicians. The game is set at a conference (just like the GAMM conference). You play a character who walks around during the coffee break and helps others to solve quests, such as how to enter a mathematical model into MathModDB (btw, have you heard about the Hairy Cat Model?). You may also get a virtual coffee and cookies, but the cake is a lie.

Our game is open source and can also be played online (link will follow, you will need a keyboard to play). You may also use the code to develop your own adventure.

Bring your model, bring your algorithm

Bring your favorite model: Bring a paper or a “basic model” used in your field, and we will help you integrate your model into our knowledge graph. It will be linked to the research problem to which it is applied and, optionally, to a specific formulation or a task that is typically solved. Together, we can demonstrate that different disciplines are connected through shared models.

Bring your own algorithm: Bring an overview article, preprint, or personal expertise, and we will turn your favorite algorithms into structured MathAlgoDB entries on the spot. Help make your work more visible, citable, and connected within the applied mathematics community.

Beyond MaRDI

GAMM RSE&RDM, NFDI Consortia and more: The necessity for research data infrastructures in GAMM goes well beyond mathematics, i.e., MaRDI. Therefore, we have invited members of NFDI consortia and organizations close to GAMM and beyond MaRDI to share their thoughts and answer user questions.

Publication of Datasets and Software: JoDaKISS is a novel Data Overlay Journal that essentially provides additional quality assurance to data and software published in places that lack these, e.g., Zenodo or GitHub. This substantially contributes to the R and I in FAIR. Check the Timetable to see when members of the Editorial Board are available at the MaRDI Booth.
