SUMMARY:PAIRSx Public Sector 2026
DESCRIPTION:PAIRSx Public Sector is an open one-day symposium that will be hosted at the Ada Lovelace Institute on 5th November 2026 to explore how public bodies are engaging and involving the public and civil society organisations around their adoption of AI\, particularly in the UK. \nThe PAIRSx Public Sector symposium is a spin-out event from the Participatory AI Research and Practice Symposium (PAIRS) series which are designed as spaces to present research and case studies on the state of the art in participatory development and governance of AI and to build stronger connections across the field. \nWe seek to create a space that is equally open to contributions and attendance from civil society\, academia\, the public sector and industry\, and that welcomes both presentation of practice\, and empirical or theoretical work. \nClick here to learn more and register to attend. The call for extended abstract submissions is open through September 16\, 2026.

SUMMARY:89th Annual Meeting of the  Association for Information Science and Technology
DESCRIPTION:Crossing Boundaries: Advancing Global Dialogue and Well-being through Information Research and Practice \nGlobally\, societies are confronted with intensifying political polarization\, inequities of access to information resources\, eroding public trust\, and widening disparities in economic\, health\, and educational opportunity. Rapid technological transformations\, including the widespread adoption of digital platforms and artificial intelligence\, are changing the ways information is produced\, shared\, used\, and curated. At the same time\, cultural memory institutions\, public information services\, and knowledge infrastructures are under increasing pressure to address global challenges such as sustainable development\, social resilience\, and equitable growth. In this context\, the role of information research and practice goes beyond generating new knowledge\, to connect communities\, preserve culture\, bridge divides\, and ultimately advance human well-being. \nThe theme of the 2026 ASIS&T Annual Meeting\, “Crossing Boundaries: Advancing Global Dialogue and Well-being through Information Research and Practice\,” reflects these imperatives. Hosted for the first time in Asia\, the meeting highlights the association’s growing global influence and its commitment to promoting cross-regional\, cross-linguistic\, and cross-disciplinary dialogue. Crossing boundaries encompasses not only geographic and spatial movement\, but also collaboration among researchers\, practitioners\, educators\, policymakers\, and communities\, as well as the circulation and stewardship of information across diverse sociocultural and institutional contexts. It also underscores the proactive role of information and memory institutions such as libraries\, archives\, and museums\, in fostering mutual understanding and shared responsibility. The theme emphasizes that information scholarship and professional practice have a critical role in advancing equitable access to information\, encouraging inclusive participation\, supporting sustainability\, and improving quality of life for individuals\, communities\, and societies. \nThe 2026 ASIS&T Annual Meeting will take place in Asia as an in-person event. There will be a virtual satellite meeting allowing for an option for virtual participation to ensure broad international engagement.

SUMMARY:Youth Facing Disinformation Event – Council of Europe’s Journalists Matter Campaign
DESCRIPTION:Young people today navigate an information space shaped by algorithms\, platforms and growing disinformation. At the same time\, journalists\, whose role is essential in verifying facts and ensuring access to reliable information are increasingly exposed to threats\, harassment and intimidation. Where journalists are unsafe\, disinformation spreads more easily\, public trust declines and democratic participation weakens. \nThe initiative Youth Facing Disinformation – Why Journalists Matter\, supported under the Monaco Presidency of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe\, places young people at the centre of efforts to defend freedom of expression\, information integrity and democratic resilience. \nOrganised under the Council of Europe’s Journalists Matter Campaign\, in cooperation with the Youth Department’s project Youth Revitalising Democracy\, the Strasbourg event will bring together selected grantees\, young participants\, journalists\, media creators\, policymakers and experts. It will combine a high-level conference with thematic workshops on disinformation\, media literacy\, journalist safety and youth engagement. \nThe event will also provide a platform for selected grantees to present their projects\, exchange with peers and experts\, and explore visibility\, dissemination and partnership opportunities. These discussions will support outreach and impact\, while the funded projects remain fully defined and under the responsibility of the selected grantees
