Description
This contribution presents the successful deployment and operational integration of Kadi4Mat, an open-source virtual research environment, within the framework of Service Improvements in the EURO-LABS project at the Institute for Beam Physics and Technology (IBPT), Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). The project established a self-hosted, scalable, and FAIR-compliant infrastructure tailored to the research data management requirements of accelerator and beam physics. FAIR = Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable.
Two independent Kadi4Mat instances have now been deployed and are in productive operation at KIT-IBPT. The first instance is intended for internal institutional use and supports collaborative research workflows, data organization, and long-term data management for researchers within KIT. The second instance provides external users with read-only access to published research data, enabling secure and controlled dissemination of scientific results beyond the institution.
This use case demonstrates how Kadi4Mat enables reproducible and interoperable research workflows while providing a modular and extensible model for integrating modern research data infrastructures into institutional environments in accordance with FAIR data principles.
