DisCouRSE Focus Group: The dRTP-PRISM Interface

Kings College London King's Building KIN 427, Strand Campus, Kings College London, London, United Kingdom

This focus group, run as a satellite event to the 2026 PRISM Network Conference, is an opportunity for PRISMs and dRTPs to come together and explore these questions openly. Through short talks, discussion sessions, and collaborative activities, participants at every level of experience will share what’s worked, what hasn’t, including pain points and frictions that can arise when different priorities, systems, and working practices meet. A key aim of the day is to turn the collective experience of the group into a short, practical guidance document for the PRISM community. This resource will help PRISMs better support digital research collaborations, and contribute to a clearer, shared understanding of the needs, constraints, and expertise that dRTPs bring to research projects.

International Digital Curation Conference: IDCC27

Lisbon , Portugal

IDCC27 will take place in Lisbon in February 27th. The call for submissions is now open!
The 21st edition of the International Digital Curation Conference(IDCC27) will take place in Lisbon, Portugal from 9 - 12 February 2027. The main theme of the conference is ”FAIR DO's: Centring People in the Stewardship and Curation of Digital Objects.” The FAIR principles emphasise machine actionability, but the increasing integration of artificial intelligence systems into data infrastructure carries the risk of marginalising people in the planning, management, and practice of digital curation. The theme of this year’s conference acknowledges the crucial role of people in making digital objects FAIR.
