To Go Far, Go Together: Advancing Scholarly Communication Across Boundaries and Disruptions
3 – 5 June, 2026 @ Singapore Management University, Singapore
Join us for FORCE2026, where researchers, publishers, librarians, developers, funders, and other stakeholders come together to discuss challenges and opportunities in the evolving landscape of scholarly communication.
Building on the success of previous FORCE11 conferences, the 2026 edition will focus on fostering collaboration and inclusive approaches. The theme “To Go Far, Go Together” emphasizes the importance of partnership and cooperation across disciplines, technologies, and geopolitical boundaries in addressing the complex challenges and disruptions facing scholarly communication today. As technological disruption reshapes research practices and global political shifts influence knowledge exchange, our collective wisdom becomes more essential than ever.
