The first NFDI4Objects Community Meeting took place from 15 to 17 November 2023 at the James-Simon-Galerie in Berlin with more than 150 participants (despite the rail strike!). The focus of the event was on presenting how NFDI4Objects works. To this end, the various task areas presented their areas of responsibility and TRAIL projects. In addition, the first Community Clusters and Temporary Working Groups were presented, in which the specialist community is significantly involved and invited to participate. Some of the services that are to be (further) developed as part of NFDI4Objects were also introduced. In addition to the presentation of the work programme, the programme also offered plenty of time for personal exchange and networking. We were particularly pleased with the participation of students and early career researchers, and the lively dialogue between those present. The event provided a good platform to bring together the FDM-interested research community.

The keynote lecture was presented by Åsa M. Larsson (Swedish National Heritage Board) on the topic ‘Recombining the Past for the Future: Building archaeological infrastructures through FAIR data practices’.

The poster session on Friday was also very well received and provided an excellent opportunity for socialising over coffee and cake. The posters and all presentations from the event have been published on Zenodo.

The input from the community meeting will be incorporated into the future work of NFDI4Objects. The visibility of the consortium in the scientific community and the wider public was also strengthened.

We would like to thank the host institution, the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation, as well as the German Archaeological Institute and all contributors and participants who contributed to the success of the community event. We look forward to the next meeting next year.
