Dr Martin Smith (BGS) gives the keynote lecture at our first National Conference in October 2013
Following the success of our first National Conference in October 2013, we are very pleased to announce that Friday 19th September 2014 has now been booked for our next conference…
On Friday 19th September we hope to again gather over 150 young geoscientists for a one-day event, exploring further the role of geoscience within international development. As was the case last year, our conference will be hosted and supported by the Geological Society of London, based in the heart of London. We are very grateful for their continued involvement and support of our work.
We have listened to some feedback from last year and decided to choose a date that is outside of the start of term for many students. This will ensure that the option of attending is open to as many students as possible. We have also selected a Friday so that those who wish can stay in London for the weekend.
This event will be an opportunity to both hear from experts and meet other students keen to utilise their geoscience to support the fight against global poverty. Last year we asked the questing “Fighting Global Poverty – Can Geologists Help?” and we closed the conference with a resounding ‘yes.’
Do put this date in your diary now and keep an eye on our website and social media for more information to be released in the coming weeks and months. We look forward to seeing many of you in London on the 19th September.
