Focussing on these three principles, ICARUS, FamilySearch and READ-Transkribus are hosting an highly inspiring conference from 1^st-2^nd September 2025 in Vienna.

Technology is opening new doors! Historical information, which was once only accessible to a select few and only in physical form, is now becoming widely and almost limitlessly available thanks to digital transformation and artificial intelligence. What was once a distant vision is rapidly becoming a reality!

That’s why ICARUS has joined forces with two highly relevant organisations spearheading in their respective fields:

• READ-Transkribus, the cutting-edge leader in handwriting recognition, and
• FamilySearch, a global force driving archival digitisation around the world.

Together, we will share insights, best practices, and bold visions with a passionate group of experts, all united by the belief that this wave of transformation offers a unique opportunity to elevate archives to a new level of relevance for both society and research.

 Join us and be part of the movement to “Digitise – Transform – Inspire!”

 Save the date – more details coming soon!
