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.
