The Call for Abstracts for the 6th Culture Community Plenary (CCP), which will take place from 9–11 November 2026 at the Deutsches Bergbau-Museum Bochum (Germany) is open until the 15th June.
The Culture Community Plenary (CCP), taking place from 9 to 11 November 2026 at the Deutsches Bergbau-Museum Bochum, is NFDI4Culture’s largest annual event. It serves as a central forum for exchange between the consortium and the community, as well as among community members themselves. The Plenary offers opportunities for networking, reporting on achievements, and shaping the future of the initiative. Projects and initiatives in the fields of tangible and intangible cultural heritage are invited to present their work to the 4Culture community. For CCP6, we are offering a variety of formats to strengthen collaborative research and foster broad knowledge exchange.
Abstracts are welcomed (1–2 pages) on the following topics:
- Research data projects in the culture disciplines at any stage
- We especially encourage interdisciplinary initiatives and concrete use cases for data reuse!
- New developments, tools, and services
- Standardization challenges
- Concepts, ideas, and cross-cutting priorities
Submission formats
- Presentations (20 minutes + discussion)
- Pecha-Kucha (20 slides × 20 seconds)
- Workshops, Datathons, Hackathons (3 hours)
- Posters (presented at the Market of Opportunities)
This could be an excellent opportunity for members of the ECHOES community, including consortium partners, sister projects, and recipients of the ECHOES Cascading Grants, to showcase their work, exchange experiences, and connect with the wider cultural heritage and research infrastructure community. CPP particularly encourages participation from organisations and projects involving German-speaking institutions and stakeholders, but the opportunity may also be relevant for a broader range of cultural heritage initiatives working on digital transformation, data, research infrastructures, and innovation in the cultural heritage sector.
Submission deadline: 15 June 2026
