The exponential growth of research data is reshaping the scientific landscape. What once came mainly from controlled experiments is now complemented by continuous streams from sensors, simulations, and digital interactions. A central focus is the need for trustworthy and sovereign data ecosystems that allow researchers to retain control over sensitive resources while enabling collaboration across disciplines and borders. At the same time, the rise of AI-driven discovery and decision-making places new demands on data quality: models require information that is not only accurate but also transparent in origin, rights, and conditions of use.
ISGC 2026 will focus on the theme “Trustworthy Infrastructures and AI for Global Open Science – Enabling Data Sovereignty and Secure Research Collaboration”, addressing pressing issues such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Security, Data Sovereignty, Open Science, Research Infrastructures, Ethics of Computing, Societal Impacts, Misinformation and Disinformation, Sovereign Capabilities, Global Collaborations, and Science for a Sustainable Future. Bringing together leading experts from academia, research infrastructures, and industry, ISGC 2026 explores how emerging technologies—from AI and quantum-enhanced computing to big data analytics—can shape a trustworthy and sustainable future across disciplines.
The program spans 10 scientific topics: Physics & Engineering Applications, Health & Life Sciences, Earth & Environmental Sciences & Biodiversity, Social Sciences & Humanities, Virtual Research Environments, FAIR & Trusted Data, Networks & Security Infrastructures, Cloud & Virtualization, Converging High-Performance Computing, and Artificial Intelligence (AI). Through keynotes, workshops, international project reports, and peer-reviewed contributions, ISGC 2026 continues to strengthen global collaborations, cultivate future scientific leaders, and bridge cutting-edge technologies with societal responsibility.
We warmly invite the global research and industry community to join this premier event where innovation, trust, and international collaboration meet to shape tomorrow’s breakthroughs.
