A great conference is shaped by the people who bring it to life!

PUBMET2026 is organised and guided by our Organising and Programme Committees. These committees bring together researchers, librarians, and open science advocates who work tirelessly to create an engaging and insightful conference experience. We are proud to introduce the people behind PUBMET2026!
