The 2026 LIBER Annual Conference, “The Power of Libraries in an Uncertain World”, will be hosted by NTNU University Library in Trondheim, Norway from 1 to 3 July 2026.

The research library community is invited to reflect on the crucial role libraries play in protecting fundamental rights and values in times of rapid change and uncertainty. Technological, social, and geopolitical shifts are challenging both institutions and societies, placing research libraries at the very heart of the information ecosystem.
