The iSchools Organization is happy to announce that the iConference 2026 will be hosted by the Edinburgh Napier University in the United Kingdom, Europe!
The iConference is an annual gathering of a broad spectrum of scholars and researchers from around the world who share a common concern about critical information issues in contemporary society. The iConference pushes the boundaries of information studies, explores core concepts and ideas, and creates new technological and conceptual configurations—all situated in interdisciplinary discourses.
The iConference series was established in 2005 by the iSchools Organization, a growing worldwide association of Information Schools dedicated to advancing the information field, and preparing students to meet the information challenges of the 21st Century. Each annual iConference is hosted by a different iSchools member institution or co-hosted by members jointly.
The iConference locations rotate annually to maximize representation and participation of the iSchools members in all three regions.
With iConference 2025 taking place in the US, iConference 2026 will again be hosted in the European/African Region.
iConference 2026 will be hosted by Edinburgh Napier University.
The School of Computing, Engineering & the Built Environment at Edinburgh Napier University joined the iSchools Organization in 2023. The University is the number one modern university in Scotland (Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2023), a top 10 UK modern university (Times/Sunday Times Good University Guide 2023), and the top Scottish modern university for research power and impact (Research Excellence Framework 2021).
Edinburgh Napier University's Craiglockhart Campus provides an ideal setting for hosting the 2026 iConference, offering a unique blend of historic elegance and cutting-edge facilities. Nestled in scenic surroundings with views of Edinburgh, the campus merges traditional architecture with modern amenities, creating an inspiring environment for academic exchange and collaboration.
