----------------------------------------
Linked Pasts Symposium 2025 CFP
Online only: Dec 1–12, 2025
Call for activities:

The annual Linked Pasts symposium (https://linkedpasts.org/)—which has
previously been held at KCL, Madrid, Stanford, Mainz, Bordeaux, University of
London and British Library, Ghent, York and Tokyo—brings together scholars,
heritage professionals and other practitioners with an interest in Linked Open
Data as applied to the study of the ancient and historical worlds. Panels and
working groups at Linked Pasts are more goal-oriented than a conventional
academic conference, and activities and agendas are often proposed, developed
and revised by all participants at the event itself.

In 2025 Linked Pasts (“LP11”) will be an entirely online and largely
asynchronous set of activities, run in a variety of formats and venues, from
online meetings to lists, shared documents or code repositories.

We invite convenors of activities to send details of their plans and
arrangements, which will be added to the LP11 programme so that Linked Pasts and
Pelagios Network community members are encouraged to sign up to them. Proposed
activities may be part of a larger project or collaboration (e.g. a PN
Activity), but a significantly freestanding agenda and outcome should be planned
for the time of or around the asynchronous symposium in December 2025.

Please include in your proposal (on one side of A4/Letter):

  1.  The title of the activity
  2.  The convenor·s of the activity
  3.  A short description (200–300 words) of the goals of the activity, how and
when meetings or collaboration will be arranged, planned outputs of this
activity.
  4.  How participants can sign up to the activity
  5.  Where to find out more about this activity, where future programme
information and outputs will appear.
  6.  Confirm that convenors will write a short report on the activity after the
symposium.

Please send your proposals to
<gabriel.bodard@sas.ac.uk> by the end of day
(in your timezone) November 2, 2025, and the programme will be announced as soon
as possible thereafter.
