EDBT/ICDT 2027 — Joint Conference on Extending Database Technology and Database Theory
by EDBT/ICDT 2027 Organizing Committee
The data layer underneath AI, argued in Lille
About This Event
The EDBT/ICDT 2027 Joint Conference takes place 6-9 April 2027 in Lille, France, pairing EDBT — Extending Database Technology — with the 30th edition of ICDT, the International Conference on Database Theory. Together they are Europe's principal forum for data management research, and the agenda now sits directly beneath the AI stack: retrieval and vector search, learned and adaptive query optimisation, data quality and provenance for training sets, graph and knowledge-graph processing, and the privacy and access-control machinery that decides what a model is allowed to read. ICDT runs a two-cycle submission process, with the second cycle's abstracts due 3 September 2026, papers 10 September 2026, and notifications on 1 December 2026; EDBT runs its own rolling submission rounds into October 2026.
Key Dates & Deadlines
- ICDT abstract submission deadline (Cycle 2)
- ICDT paper submission deadline (Cycle 2)
- EDBT paper submission deadline (final round)

Why Attend
Every AI programme eventually stalls on the data layer — retrieval quality, lineage, freshness, and who is allowed to see what. This is the conference where those problems are treated as engineering with proofs rather than as a procurement decision. A data platform leader leaves with a grounded view of where vector and hybrid retrieval are actually headed, the provenance and access-control techniques that make an audit survivable, and the ability to judge whether a data vendor's roadmap rests on published results or on a slide.
Event Features
- ✓ICDT research track, second submission cycle: abstracts 3 September 2026, papers 10 September 2026, notification 1 December 2026
- ✓EDBT submission rounds running through 4 February, 10 June and 7 October 2026
- ✓30th edition of ICDT, held jointly with EDBT in Lille
- ✓Four-day joint programme, 6-9 April 2027
What Makes This Unique
- ★A joint conference: EDBT's systems and applications work runs alongside ICDT's foundations, so the same programme covers both what a data system does and what it can provably do
- ★ICDT's 30th edition, with a two-cycle submission process that gives papers a second review round rather than one annual shot
- ★European in centre of gravity, which puts GDPR-shaped questions about provenance, access control and data minimisation on the technical agenda rather than the legal one
- ★The venue where the indexing, retrieval and query-optimisation research that ends up inside vector databases and analytics engines is published years ahead of the products
