Delft, The Netherlands
The Dutch-Belgian DataBase Day (DBDBD) is a yearly one-day workshop, organized in turn by a Belgian or Dutch university, with a focus on database research. DBDBD 2026 will take place at Lijm & Cultuur in Delft, The Netherlands.
At DBDBD 2026, junior and senior researchers from the Netherlands and Belgium will present their recent results and connect with colleagues in the field of data management. The workshop offers an excellent opportunity to exchange ideas, discover ongoing research in Dutch and Belgian universities, and foster new collaborations.
The program will feature poster sessions and selected oral presentations. There are no printed proceedings. Abstracts of accepted contributions will be published on the DBDBD 2026 website.
We invite submissions (1-page abstracts) on a broad range of database and database-related topics. This includes core areas such as data storage and management, database theory, querying, semantics, and ontologies, as well as work at the intersection of databases with other disciplines such as machine learning, large language models, artificial intelligence, information retrieval, distributed systems, and data science. Based on the submissions, the workshop will be organized into sessions that highlight different themes.
