The Open Repositories Steering Committee seeks Expressions of Interest (EoI) from candidate host organizations for the 2021 Open Repositories Annual Conference series. Proposals from the Americas will be given
first consideration.
The Open Repositories Steering Committee is accepting Expressions of Interest (EoI) to host the OR2021 conference until April 30th, 2019. Shortlisted sites will be notified by the end of May 2019 and invited
to submit a full proposal.
Candidate institutions must have the ability to host at least a four-day conference with up to 450 attendees (see the
list of
past conferences which includes the number of attendees where available). This includes appropriate access to conference facilities, lodging, and transportation, as well as the ability to manage
a range of supporting services (food services, internet services, and conference social events; conference website; management of registration and online payments; etc.). The candidate institutions and their local arrangements committee must have the means
to support the costs of producing the conference through attendee registration and independent fundraising. In addition, candidate institutions should consider the
OR Statement on Inclusion and Openness
as well as our Code of Conduct
to determine whether there are conditions in the local environment that might conflict with these positions or prevent travel for large portions of the attendees.
Fuller guidance is provided in the
Open Repositories Conference Handbook
on the Open Repositories wiki.
Organisations interested in proposing to host the OR2021 conference should follow the steps listed below:
Since 2006 Open Repositories has hosted an annual conference that brings together users and developers of open digital repository platforms. For further information about Open Repositories and links to past conference sites, please visit
