The 19th edition of the International Digital Curation Conference (IDCC25) will take place between 17 -19 February 2025 in Madurodam, The Hague. This year’s main theme is ‘Twenty years back, twenty years forward: lessons and directions in digital curation’.

The International Digital Curation Conference (IDCC) invites individuals, organisations and institutions across all disciplines and domains involved in curating data and provides an opportunity to get together with like-minded data practitioners to discuss policy and practice.

The first International Digital Curation Conference (IDCC) took place in 2005, one year after the launch of the Digital Curation Centre. The tenth IDCC took place in 2015, one year before the publication of the FAIR principles.

The Call for Proposals in 2015 encouraged submissions taking a decade-long view of the past, present or future. IDCC25 consciously revisits that call with a similar emphasis on building on what we have learned and recommendations on how to progress, but this time with a generational perspective on digital curation.
