Open Repositories 2027 Call for Proposals: Deadline January 17, 2027

[Leigh Stork]

Hello!

The 22nd International Conference on Open Repositories (OR2027) will take place June 6-10th 2027 in Salvador, Brazil, and we are now accepting proposals for conference presentations.

 

The theme for the OR2027 conference is: Who Owns Knowledge: Issues of Sovereignty, Ownership, and Social Impact for Repositories.

We live in a divided world; conflict is widespread and political divisions are deep. What does this mean for our open and inclusive communities which span cultures and geographic boundaries? Where do repositories fit within the current geopolitical climate?

Submission categories include posters, workshops, lightning talks, papers, and panels. We look forward to the vibrant conversations and learning opportunities of the conference.

Please visit the Call for Proposals page to learn more about the submission categories including a full list of submission templates that can be downloaded, dissemination information for accepted proposals, and key dates. Note that all submissions must be made in ConfTool, our conference management tool. 

ConfTool will be open for submissions from October 31, 2026. The deadline for submissions is January 17, 2027.

Please note: This is a firm deadline for submissions and there will not be an extension.

Submitters should note that presentations are in person and there is no remote/pre-recorded presentation option.

Best wishes,

Leigh Stork (on behalf of the Open Repositories Steering Committee)
