The BNPG Conference in Enkhuizen (April 23–25, 2026) was a great success, featuring 25 presentations from 12 different countries, along with a workshop and a closing excursion.
The papers covered ceramics from the 11th through the 19th centuries, exploring a wide range of topics—from typologies, 3D scanning, provenance studies, to analytical methods. In total, the conference welcomed 83 participants, representing regions from Scandinavia and Finland in the north to Spain in the south.
These have been very rewarding and enjoyable days. Above all, it has been truly inspiring to experience the strong sense of collegiality and positive atmosphere among ceramic researchers across Europe.
A heartfelt thank you to Michiel Bartels and his wonderful colleagues in Enkhuizen for their warm hospitality and excellent organization.
