DPC has now confirmed the program of meetings for its Executive Board and Representative Council in 2024, as well as the Annual General Meeting.

The Representative Council is the ‘general assembly’ of the Coalition. It is formed by representatives of all our full members and it owns the DPC’s Strategy. In that role it receives the reports of DPC's 5 thematic subcommittees. The Executive Board is a smaller body recruited from the Representative Council and responsible for corporate governance. 

The DPC is pleased to offer a Career Development Fund grant for a DPC member to attend the 18th International Digital Curation Conference (IDCC24) taking place 19-21 February 2024 in Edinburgh, Scotland, UK.

This grant will cover 100% of the conference registration fees and provide a contribution towards travel and accommodation if attending in person. More details are provided below. Grant applications are welcomed from DPC members until the application deadline of 07:00 UTC on 9th January 2024. 

It’s time for DPC staff to take a break. It’s been a tremendous year.

DPC’s mission is a welcoming and inclusive global community around digital preservation. We are deeply encouraged by the confidence members put in the DPC, and in each other. We’re now active in 24 countries with 21 new DPC Members and 3 new Supporters since the start of the year. This year also saw a reboot of the DPC Supporters Program, another action packed World Digital Preservation Day, and the kick-off of new DPC Working Groups.
