International Digital Curation Conference: IDCC27

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.

DCC / RDA Europe – Self-assessing Research Data Management and FAIR-enabling Capabilities

The Digital Curation Centre is pleased to announce a professional development opportunity, co-hosted with RDA Europe, designed specifically for professionals in research support roles. Our half-day workshop taking place next month will equip you with the skills and knowledge to assess and improve your organisation's research data management (RDM) and FAIR-enabling capabilities. This interactive workshop will introduce you to the concept of self-assessment, providing you with practical guidance on how to evaluate your organisations’ capabilities to support RDM and the production and reuse of FAIR data. Through hands-on activities and real-world scenario discussions, you will gain essential skills in conducting these assessments and learn how to implement, interpret, and use the results to drive organisational improvements.

CaSDaR Contributes to Portuguese Data Stewards Network Session on Electronic Research Notebooks

In March 2026, CaSDaR was pleased to contribute to a recent event on the Portuguese Data Stewards Network (RPDS), organised through the Re.Data initiative. The event focused on Electronic Research Notebooks (ERNs) and explored their role in supporting effective research data management, reproducibility, and open science practices. As part of the event, Dr Samantha Pearman-Kanza (CaSDaRs PI) delivered a presentation exploring how electronic research notebooks can enhance data capture, organisation, and reproducibility in research workflows. The talk highlighted the role of ERNs in supporting FAIR data practices, enabling structured and well-documented research outputs, and facilitating integration with wider digital research infrastructures.

N8 CIR Event – Learn how publishing in data journals can increase awareness of your research

Data journals are a format of publication that publish datasets or ‘data papers’ rather than conventional research articles. They offer a route to increase the visibility of research data outputs whilst also rewarding creators with a peer-reviewed publication, credit, and increased opportunity for citation (Walters, 2020). This event will feature presentations from researchers from a range of disciplines, in both STEM and the humanities, involved in editing data journals, who will share their experiences and advice with attendees. The event will introduce the concept of data journals and how they operate and explore best practices when submitting papers to these journals or developing data journal publications. There will be opportunities for questions and discussions throughout the event.
