The 20th International Open Repositories Conference (OR2025)<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://or2025.openrepositories.org/__;!!DZ3fjg!7ykyDjFHRZyYQ16v8A16-wJJ7-VYMcvtC7PMZik0P2io_zGpwtcLbPJ4me-iFhXtFfzwHY3UQcuuH_hGjFcOh06nx7Q$ > will be held from Sunday, June 15, to Wednesday, June 18, in Chicago, IL. The theme for the Conference is “Twenty Years of Progress, a Future of Possibilities”.

OR2025 is the 20th anniversary of the Open Repositories Conference. We are marking this milestone with a Conference theme that reflects the progress and contributions that the repository community has made toward equitable access to digital resources and research outputs. In addition, we are also exploring the future possibilities of what repositories can do to tackle the many global challenges that currently exist.

We particularly welcome proposals aligned to the overall theme, but also on other administrative, organizational, or practical topics related to open digital repositories. We are interested in the following sub-themes:

  *   Community: How can repositories continue to serve a global community with diverse uses and needs? What can we as a repository community do to create connections through integrations, foster trust in the material held in repositories and promote local and indigenous knowledge?
  *   Sustainability and Preservation: How can we ensure that repositories and their digital content last beyond the next 20 years in a financially and environmentally sustainable way?
  *   Inspiration: Have you been inspired by attending an Open Repositories conference to develop, implement, change practices or start a project? We would love to hear how this is going!
  *   Blue-sky thinking: What might the future of equitable access to digital resources and research outputs look like? How can we go beyond the status quo and AI as the answer to everything?

Submission categories include posters, workshops, lightning talks, papers, the repository showdown, and panels.
