The EUscreen Symposium 2026, titled “Reframing Openness: Empowering Authenticity and Reuse in Audiovisual Heritage,” will take place on 8–9 April 2026 in Warsaw. It is co-organised by EUscreen and FINA. It is a free conference (registration required) addressed to professionals from the audiovisual archives community, as well as scholars, rights experts, technologists, and community practitioners.
The symposium will address the shifting definition of “openness” in the context of copyright constraints, AI-generated content, and co-creation, and examine how reuse strategies need to be reimagined to balance legal, ethical, and cultural responsibilities. Special attention will be given to the transformative potential — and risks — of artificial intelligence in archival description, access, and interpretation, as well as to the role of inclusive, community-driven approaches that promote plural narratives and empower users as co-stewards of AV heritage, archival integrity that relies on trust and quality and necessary competences in the sector to allowing it to face the new realm.
The full programme and speakers’ profiles will be published in March; however, confirmed elements of the programme are already available.
