Explore the Programme: Featured Sessions Now Live
P27 programme is now browsable by day and by theme, covering everything from AI governance to data stewardship to research ethics. New this year: 13 researchers pitch fresh ideas in 7-minute Ideas Pitch Sessions, looking for collaborators to help bring them to life. Check featured sessions.

First time at P27? There’s a Session for That
An informal session has been added to help you get oriented and learn what RDA is, how it’s structured, and how to make the most of your three days at P27. Find it in the programme.

Meet the Voices Shaping P27
One of the sessions, “Making the Global Open Research Commons a Reality,” brings together Hilary Hanahoe (RDA Secretary General), Lautaro Matas (LA Referencia), Natalie Harrower (CRDCN), and Tony Burdett (BioFAIR), exploring practical approaches, challenges, and how the community can work together to make it happen. What would a truly open research commons look like? Find out more.
