About the event¶
Purpose and overview¶
The purpose of the CCP-AHC Town Hall 2026 is to bring together representatives of:
- national and international digital research infrastructure (DRI) initiatives supporting arts, humanities, and culture (AHC) research and innovation;
- DRI professionals who enable and empower this work, particularly those interested in or actively using large-scale compute, including HPC, cloud, and other advanced-computing infrastructures;
- the UK HPC and advanced computing community, including members of existing CCPs;
- expertise in sustainable computationally intensive AHC research and the FAIR data, workflows, and software that support it;
- leaders in engaged and inclusive design principles for access to DRI.
Attendees will contribute to the CCP-AHC Roadmap Open Draft, based on the experience of current community members, the evolving DRI landscape, and recent developments in research policy.
