DESCRIPTION:# Join the NFDI4Microbiota Conference 2025 in Cologne!\n\nThe *
 *NFDI4Microbiota** consortium brings together researchers from across disc
 iplines to improve microbiome research through better data practices\, inf
 rastructure\, and community support. Our goal is to make microbiome data *
 *FAIR** — *Findable\, Accessible\, Interoperable\, and Reusable* — and
  to empower scientists with tools and standards for high-quality\, reprodu
 cible research.\n\nUnder the motto **“From Lab to Publication – Bridgi
 ng the Gap with Best Practices”**\, this year’s conference will take p
 lace from **30 September to 2 October 2025** at **ZB MED – Information C
 entre for Life Sciences in Cologne**.\n\n **What to expect:**\n- Hands-on 
 workshops where you can learn to apply NFDI4Microbiota services  \n- The o
 pportunity to test your skills on a small training dataset  \n- Inspiring 
 keynote talks and interactive poster sessions  \n- Community exchange and 
 best practices for microbiome research  \n\n\n## Workshop Topics Summary\n
