We're gearing up to take the Digital Curation Centre's IDCC conference to Melbourne in February 2019 and have an exciting programme that has recently been announced. The theme of the conference is "Collaborations and Partnerships" and this has inspired a dynamic mix of papers and sessions including particularly strong clusters on digital humanities, creative arts curation, disciplinary challenges and curating indigenous data. 

 

We also have a fantastic set of keynotes lined up. Christine Kenneally, an independent journalist, will open the conference with a presentation on “Data, the creation of history and its impact on real lives.” Day two will start with a plenary discussion between Nancy McGovern and Clifford Lynch on digital practice and collaboration, and the conference will close with a keynote from Dr Patricia Brennan, Director of US National Library of Medicine, on “Jumping into the stream of data curation.” Read more about the keynote speakers and their papers here: http://www.dcc.ac.uk/events/idcc19/speakers
