Archiving and preservation for research environments

iPres 2020

The International Conference on Digital Preservation embraces a variety of topics in digital preservation - from strategy to implementation, and from international and regional initiatives to small organisations. Within this broad topic area, each year the conference defines a slightly different focus.

This year the conference focussing on digital preservation will not take place physically, but it will be replaced by #WeMissiPRES, a celebration and a conversation to bring the global digital preservation community together. It will be online, free to attend and open to all, so it will facilitate contributions from around the world where distance might inhibit participation, or from early career professionals who might not normally be able to afford travel and registration fees.

These three half days will feature a mix of presentations, lightning talks, panels, and participants interaction, all supported by social and networking opportunities.
