Open Repositories 2026: looking back at OR2025

"The Open Repositories conference returns this year as a free online event from 8–11 June 2026. The conference brings together repository managers, developers, librarians, researchers, and open scholarship practitioners from around the world to learn about formative techniques and technologies while connecting with people who are solving related issues at their institutions. This year’s theme is “Open to All? Repositories at the Intersection of People, Practice, and Emerging Technologies” which will explore how repositories sustain open knowledge exchange while advancing FAIR principles, preservation, community building, and responding to the challenges and opportunities of emerging technologies."
