Summary

Following the success of last year, the Dataverse Belgium event is returning for 2025! This year the event is co-organised by the Social Sciences and Digital Humanities Archive (SODHA) and the KU Leuven RDR, and will be held at the State Archives in Brussels (Rue de Ruysbroeck 10, 1000 Brussels) on the afternoon of 23rd September 2025.

Description

To facilitate the sharing of information, we kindly ask every institution to provide a short 5-10 mins presentation on who they are, what they are currently working on, what changed since last year, and what challenges they face. You can either use PowerPoint slides or bring a poster summarising your current work. We hope that these presentations will give ground for helpful discussions during the afternoon.

Additionally, as the event will be held at the State Archives, we would like to invite you all for a guided tour around the archive. The tour will be held in English at the end of the event.

We are looking forward to meeting up with all of you.
