EOSC EDEN project: Seminar on Digital Preservation
The EOSC EDEN project, an EU-funded initiative, is continuing its webinar series to share key results and insights from its work on advancing digital preservation strategies across Europe. At the heart of EOSC EDEN lies the ambition to develop a framework for identifying research data that should be prioritised for long-term digital preservation at both European and national levels. In this fourth seminar, we will present the findings from the survey run by EOSC EDEN between May and July 2025. The survey investigated current practices in digital preservation, and the guidance documents that inform these practices. Survey questions interrogated long-term preservation across different domains and organisation types, and identified issues that potentially affect how preservation and the findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reusability of digital data objects may change over time.

DPC: iPRES 2026 Great Digital Preservation Bake Off
Calling all technical whisk-takers; the iPRES 2026 Ad Hoc Programme is now open! There are several categories available in the AdHoc programme, including The Great Digital Preservation Bake Off, which returns to iPRES 2026 (September 21-25 in Copenhagen). Whether you're a seasoned baker or a first-timer, we want to see your tools in action. This year, we are recruiting for two tracks: the Signature Home Bake and the Showstopper Pro Bake. Participants will demonstrate how their tools address real-world challenges in digital preservation. Both seasoned and emerging tool developers have the opportunity to serve up and demonstrate the value and effectiveness of their digital preservation tools in a short, timed presentation. Please note that there is no actual baking at the Bake Off.
