The fifth edition of the International DCC Conference took place online from February 25–27, 2025. The event was free of charge and brought together developers, users, and scientists from around the world. The main focus was the uptake and further development of Digital Calibration Certificates (DCC).

Topics included:

• Advances in machine-readable data and metadata in the scientific and quality infrastructure

• Use cases and implementations of DCC

• Approaches to foster adoption of digital calibration standards

• Opportunities for collaboration and knowledge exchange in the digital quality infrastructure

The proceedings of the conference can be downloaded here. The general website for the conference remains available here.

The forth edition of the online DCC conference covered the uptake and further development of digital calibration certificates (DCC). :

• Recent advances regarding machine-actionable information and data in the quality infrastructure
• Use cases and implementations of digital certificates and reports
• Software solutions for the integration and uptake of FAIR data in the quality infrastructure
• Concepts and frameworks for the interoperability in a digital quality infrastructure

The Proceedings of the Conference can be downloaded here. The general website for the conference is still online here.

The third edition of the online DCC conference covered a wide range of topics related to digitalisation in metrology and the quality infrastructure:

• International perspective on DCC development and harmonisation
• Integration of accreditation symbol and electronic signatures
• Tools and good practice examples
• DCC uptake and development in different areas

The book of abstracts can be downloaded here. The general website for the conference is still online here.

The second edition of the International DCC conference covered topics such as

• Implementation strategies for DCCs in practice
• Software tools for creating of and working with DCCs
• Recent developments and news around DCC XML schema development
