This pull request adds a blog post summarizing the INF-projects in CRCs Meet-Up 2026, held online on June 10, 2026.

The post documents the main sessions, presentations, and discussions of the meet-up, including:

National frameworks and the poster blitz
Tooling clusters
Domain clusters
Regional clusters
The final fireplace chat
Resources

The post also highlights the INF-in-CRCs network as a space for exchanging experiences, sharing resources, and creating opportunities for networking and future collaboration between INF projects, RSEs, RDMs, and Data Stewards.

The post is intended as a community summary of the meet-up and as a record of the discussions and resources shared during the event.

A handful of small but concrete editorial/formatting issues (naming/capitalization consistency, grammar, and trailing whitespace) should be corrected before publishing.

• The network name is inconsistently capitalized here ("inf-in-CRCs Network") compared to the rest of the post/PR description ("INF-in-CRCs network").

Following the initial on-site workshop held during the deRSE26 conference in Stuttgart (March 3–5, 2026), the inf-in-CRCs Network organized its first virtual meet-up on Wednesday, June 10, 2026 [https://inf-in-crcs-26.sciencesconf.org](https://inf-in-crcs-26.sciencesconf.org/).

• Spelling is inconsistent within the same section (e.g., "organise/organisation" vs "organizing" elsewhere in the post). Consider standardizing to a single variant within this post for consistency.

The discussion showed that introducing an ELN involves more than choosing a suitable platform. Participants mentioned the learning curve, the need for training in good laboratory record keeping, uncertainty about what information and metadata should be recorded, and the importance of support from principal investigators and group leaders. In eLabFTW, the flexibility of the system can add another difficulty: new users may face a “blank canvas” with little guidance on how to structure entries, organise navigation, or connect related samples, derivatives, experiments, and resources.

The presentation explored shared templates as one way to lower these barriers. Templates can provide guidance for users while also supporting consistent navigation, searches, project organisation, protocols, resources, and data-management information. The SFB 1638 INF team’s template package was presented as an example and as a starting point for community discussion, rather than as a finished or universal solution. Participants showed interest in sharing templates and comparing approaches, even where groups use different workflows.

• These lines contain trailing whitespace, which can create noisy diffs and (in some cases) unintended markdown hard line breaks. Removing trailing spaces keeps the markdown clean.

This issue also appears on line 106 of the same file.

The poster blitz featured 15 short presentations, each introducing an INF project, research infrastructure, or technical solution from different CRCs, TRRs, and NFDI initiatives. 
The presentations covered a broad range of topics, including research data management, metadata infrastructures, provenance tracking, AI-assisted research data management (RDM), legal compliance, multimodal data integration, scientific visualization, and domain-specific software platforms.
Several speakers presented practical tools and services, such as the [PUNCH4NFDI](https://www.punch4nfdi.de/) platform, 
the [MaRDI](https://www.mardi4nfdi.de) Packaging System ([MAPS](https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/wiki/Packaging_System)), provenance workflows based on [DataLad](https://www.datalad.org/), and guides for organizing research data. Other presentations highlighted the activities of individual INF projects, 
including [CRC 1313](https://www.sfb1313.uni-stuttgart.de), [CRC1415](https://tu-dresden.de/mn/chemie/sfb1415), [CRC 1625](https://www.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/crc1625/), [CRC 1629](https://www.neglab.de), [TRR 172](https://www.ac3-tr.de/), and [TRR 408](https://agimo-trr408.com/de/), illustrating the diversity of research domains represented in the network.

• There is trailing whitespace after the heading and at the end of the final paragraph, which can lead to unnecessary diffs and unintended markdown formatting.
