Not only Europe is heavily depending on web services from a few monopolistic economic players. Data is flowing out, value is being lost, and regulation is being undermined. How can we counter this situation with an open web data infrastructure? Which technical and economic concepts promise acceptance and strengthen digital diversity? Which ethical and legal questions need to be answered in this context?

Together with the Open Search Foundation e.V., the German Aerospace Center (DLR) is organising this year’s 8th International Open Search Symposium in Berlin. “Boosting Digital Sovereignty” is the ossym2026 conference theme. Join us for inspiring talks, thoughtful discussions and latest scientific research findings. For the eighth time, ossym2026 is bringing together the European and international Open Web Search community.

The conference comprises various formats including scientific talks, workshops, demonstrations, student engagement and informal discussion spaces. It is aimed at researchers, data centres, libraries, policy makers, legal and ethical experts, and the broader community.
