SUMMARY:CaSDaR's Hybrid Data Steward Conference 2026
DESCRIPTION:Registration\nSIGN UP HERE \nOverview\nThis hybrid conference organised by Careers and Skills for Data-driven Research (CaSDaR) brings together the growing data stewardship community to share progress\, showcase impact\, and shape the next phase of activity. This event is fully hybrid\, so all sessions will be available online and in-person at The Midland Hotel\, Manchester \nAs the volume and complexity of research data continues to increase\, the need for skilled Data Stewards remains critical. Over the past year\, CaSDaR has been working to strengthen recognition of the role\, support professional development\, and build a connected UK-wide community. This residential conference provides an opportunity to reflect on progress and contribute to what comes next. \nDay one will focus on data stewardship in practice whereas Day two will highlight CaSDaR’s activities to date and allow delegates to have an impact in CaSDaR’s future plans and deliverables through engaging in parallel breakout sessions. There will of course also be the opportunity to meet Cassie and grab some of her swag! \nWho should attend and why?\nThis conference is suitable for people who are interested in Data Stewardship\, practitioners such as librarians\, archivists\, technicians\, researchers who are interested in moving into the role\, and decision makers who are interested in how they can support the development of Data Stewardship at their organisation. Attendance at CaSDaR’s conference will promote: \n\n\n\n\n\n\nNetworking – this is crucial in Data Stewardship roles where often the responsibilities are dispersed across roles or concentrated in one individual without a clear remit;\nKnowledge exchange – day one of the conference is highlighting disciplinary and organisational expamples of best practice in Data Stewardship; attendance will allow individuals to discuss these examples in more detail and make connections to support personal and organisational development;\nShare the results of any work – we are accepting applications to present your work as either a lightning talk or a poster;\nUnderstanding the funding landscape – in November 2025\, CaSDAR released its first round of funding. Throughout this conference\, we will share information about this process as well as invite talks from successful applicants in preparation for the release of the second round of CaSDaR’s funding; and\nInforming the future directions of CaSDaR – day two of the conference will involve five parallel hybrid breakout session to inform the future direction of CaSDaR in the areas of its key deliverables. Engaging in these will allow individuals to influence the outcomes of these sessions and shape the future of CaSDaR.\n\nLightning talks and poster presentations\nWe are keen to showcase the ongoing work of people involved in Data Stewardship so we would like to encourage people to apply to give a lightning talk or a poster on day one of the conference (17th November 2026). Fill in this form to apply to present a lightning talk and fill in this form to apply to present a poster.

SUMMARY:DisCouRSE Focus Group: The dRTP-PRISM Interface
DESCRIPTION:As research becomes more digital\, how are PRISMs and dRTPs learning to work together? Whether it’s AI\, large-scale data analysis\, research software\, digital collections\, advanced computing\, or new forms of digital methodology\, more projects than ever are drawing on the expertise of Digital Research Technical Professionals (dRTPs) and depend on close collaboration between those dRTPs and Professional Research Investment and Strategy Managers (PRISMs). \nAs these collaborations become more common\, many PRISMs and dRTPs are finding themselves navigating new ways of working together\, which bring challenges alongside exciting opportunities for research. E.g.: How early should technical teams be involved in a project? What’s the best way to scope work and manage expectations? How can projects plan realistically for costs\, timelines\, and technical input? And\, perhaps most fundamentally\, how do you even find the right person to talk to when every institution structures its digital research teams differently? \nThis 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. \nA 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. \nThis focus group is part of the Developing a Community of Leaders in Digital Research (DisCouRSE) project. Insights from the event will contribute to the project’s work to strengthen understanding\, leadership\, and collaboration across the digital research landscape. \nJoin us on the 24th of November to help shape this resource and connect with peers navigating the same challenges. \nTuesday 24 November\, 11am-5pm (doors open 10:30am)\nKing’s College London \nNote that this event is in-person only with no hybrid option. Register now.

SUMMARY:International Digital Curation Conference: IDCC27
DESCRIPTION:Overview\nThe International Digital Curation Conference (IDCC) is an established annual event with a unique place in the digital curation community\, reaching out to individuals\, organisations and institutions across all disciplines and domains involved in curating data and providing an opportunity to get together with like-minded data practitioners to discuss policy and practice. \nThe 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. \nSubmissions are now open for papers\, lightning talks\, posters\, demos and workshops. Full information is available on the conference website! \nWho should attend?\nAll those involved in the curation and stewardship of data and related roles. \nAbout DCC\nThe International Digital Curation Conference (IDCC) is an established annual event with a unique place in the digital curation community\, reaching out to individuals\, organisations and institutions across all disciplines and domains involved in curating data and providing an opportunity to get together with like-minded data practitioners to discuss policy and practice.
