This is a provisional programme, which will be updated as further details are confirmed.

UCL's Festival of Digital Research, Innovation & Scholarship, Tuesday 16 June 2026

We are delighted to welcome and thank you all for attending our third Festival of Digital Research, Innovation & Scholarship!
We have a fun packed day ahead of us, with a full programme (TBC) of Keynotes and Presentations focused on UCL partnerships in digital research. Posters will be on display in the Roberts Building Foyer G02, all day from 9:30, so make sure to take a wander around and see all our digital research community has to offer.

During the day, we will be asking you vote to for the best poster. More information about how to contribute will be provided during the Opening Plenary, and our friendly staff will be on-hand throughout the day to answer any of your Festival queries.

We hope you enjoy the day and are able to join us for a celebratory drink at 17:00.
