SUMMARY:CESSDA 50
DESCRIPTION:Digital transformation\, open science\, and artificial intelligence are shaping how research is carried out and its connection with society. From climate change\, inequality\, to disinformation – as social challenges grow more urgent and complex\, the need for trustworthy\, interoperable\, and policy-relevant social science data has never been greater. In this evolving landscape\, social science data archives play a critical role in maximising the benefits of research data while mitigating potential risks\, under the principle of “as open as possible and as closed as necessary”. \nIn 2026\, CESSDA\, the Consortium of European Social Science Data Archives\, celebrates its 50th anniversary. This conference marks its five decades of collaboration\, innovation\, and service to the European social science research community. It brings together its Service Providers and partners\, as well as researchers\, open science and data experts\, policy actors\, funding partners\, and networks from across Europe and beyond to reflect on its legacy and chart a shared vision for the future. \nThe four-day conference programme is anchored in CESSDA’s strategic pillars (2023–2027) of Data\, People\, and Landscape. The conference is an opportunity for scientific and policy voices to ask bold questions\, strengthen synergies\, and set the course for a future-ready European Research Area. \nThe Objectives of the Conference\nThe conference marks the 50th anniversary of CESSDA. It celebrates its impact on open science and open data in the European Research Area and beyond. It brings together CESSDA Service Providers\, researchers\, policy actors\, partner organisations\, and international networks to share knowledge\, showcase achievements\, and address the evolving landscape of research and innovation.

SUMMARY:RDA 27th Plenary Meeting (P27)
DESCRIPTION:The Research Data Alliance (RDA) 27th Plenary Meeting (P27) will take place at The Kia Oval\, London\, United Kingdom\, from 6th to 8th October 2026 as an in-person event. This format marks a significant shift from recent practice and may prevent some community members from participating- a decision we have not taken lightly. \nSince 2020\, RDA plenary meetings have been either fully virtual or hybrid\, ensuring broad accessibility during and beyond the pandemic. P27 represents a deliberate pilot of a new approach: pairing an in-person plenary in the second half of each year with a fully virtual plenary in the first half. This model aims to balance the distinct benefits of both formats whilst ensuring equitable opportunities for engagement throughout the year. \n

It is intended to be a global meeting place for everyone who cares about keeping knowledge connected – across people\, systems\, disciplines\, borders\, and time.

We may even be able to connect you with other interested groups with whom you share a synergy and potential for a successful session. \nHow to submit your proposal \nPlease see our brief writing guide for proposals for ideas on how to pitch your session. When you’re ready you can submit your proposal here (please note that you will need to set up an account on the SURF platform where the proposal form is hosted – you will then be able to access and edit your proposal any time before the deadline). \nThe Call for Proposals will remain open through March 22.
