Venue & Location
Lijm & Cultuur
The 23rd Dutch-Belgian DataBase Day (DBDBD 2026) will take place at Lijm & Cultuur, hosted by Delft University of Technology (TU Delft). Situated directly along the scenic Schie canal adjacent to the TU Delft campus and Science Park, Lijm & Cultuur is a landmark industrial-heritage venue—formerly the historic 19th-century Dutch Glue and Gelatin Factory (Lijm- en Gelatinefabriek). Today, it is an inspiring cultural and conference destination featuring spacious, light-filled event spaces, modern presentation technology, and a vibrant waterside atmosphere ideal for oral presentations, poster sessions, and community networking.
