The Luxembourg Centre for Contemporary and Digital History (C²DH), in collaboration with DARIAH-LU, is pleased to host an International Omeka S Developer Event from Wednesday, 3 September, to Friday, 5 September 2025, at the University of Luxembourg, Belval Campus.
At the C²DH and through DARIAH-LU, we are deeply committed to the ongoing development of Omeka S, supporting both research-driven projects and broader digital infrastructure initiatives in the humanities. This event brings together the global Omeka S developer community to strengthen international collaboration and knowledge exchange.
Inspired by previous events, this year’s gathering will once again follow BarCamp principles, embracing an open, collaborative “unconference” format. There will be no keynote speeches or formal presentations, and no traditional workshops. Instead, the agenda will be co-created by you—the participants—ensuring that the sessions reflect the shared interests, challenges, and expertise of the community. Sessions will consist of breakout discussions, co-working groups, and hands-on problem-solving, all self-organized and participant-led. This format ensures an inclusive environment where all voices are heard and valued.
Schedule & travel information
The event is designed to accommodate international travel, with a schedule running from lunch on Wednesday, 3 September, to lunch on Friday, 5 September 2025. This allows participants to arrive in Luxembourg on Wednesday morning and depart on Friday afternoon. Please plan your travel accordingly to make the most of the event.
