Date

The Call for Submissions for the 20th International Digital Curation Conference, IDCC26, is now open!

The main theme of IDCC26 is AI, austerity, and authoritarianism: contemporary challenges in digital curation. Submissions are invited to consider how these forces affect the work of the digital curation community and steps we take to stay resilient. While recognising the financial and political challenges the contemporary environment presents, the call is open to optimism through examples of resilience and resistance in digital curation activities to sustain momentum in open scholarship and promote social change. More information about the sub-themes for the conference is available on the website.

Submissions are open for papers, lightning talks, posters until 11 July 2025, and workshops until 25 July 2025.
