Welcome

The Dutch-Belgian DataBase Day (DBDBD) is a yearly one-day workshop, organized in a Belgian or Dutch university, whose general topic is database research. DBDBD 2020 will be held in Utrecht, Netherlands. Due to the cooperation between SIKS and the local organization of DBDBD, registration for SIKS-members is free.

Junior and senior researchers from the Netherlands and Belgium can present their recent results, and meet senior researchers in the field of data management. It is an excellent opportunity to meet up with your Belgian/Dutch colleagues, and to get informed about the (recent) database-related research performed in Belgian/Dutch universities. The workshop typically consists of oral and poster presentations and welcomes also non-Belgian/Dutch participants (presentations are in English).

This year edition is organized and hosted by the Data Intensive Systems Group of Utrecht University, and is sponsored by SIKS, the Netherlands Research School for Information and Knowledge Systems.

 

In memory of Martin Kersten, a pioneer Database Researcher.

Venue

The event will take place at the premises of Instituto Cervantes in the center of Utrecht. The location is: Domplein 3, 3512 JC Utrecht, Nederlands.
