Be a part of FORCE2026: Call for Proposals Now Open
Join us in Singapore for FORCE2026! We’re bringing the community together to re-imagine the future of scholarly communication. Our theme, “To Go Far, Go Together: Advancing Scholarly Communication Across Boundaries and Disruptions”, celebrates the power of collaboration across disciplines, technologies, and borders. In a world shaped by rapid changes, our shared knowledge and diverse perspectives are more vital than ever. Let’s come together to spark bold ideas and tackle systemic challenges — collaboratively.
We want every presentation to truly engage the community. We’re seeking proposals that are interactive, demonstrate real-world impact, and give attendees clear ways to get involved. Share not just your work, but how it creates change, builds connections, and sparks participation. We’re especially looking for proposals that invite exploration of timely topics and emerging issues in scholarly communications and inspire collaboration at and after the conference.
Call for proposals is now closed. Thank you so much for your submissions.
Please look forward to the result notification in December 2025 / January 2026.
