Social Programme

Social Programme

The congress Social Programme will be designed to make delegates feel welcome and maximise interactions between the participants.  In particular we wish to encourage interactions between young and established researchers.  Therefore, the Social Programme will emphasise “mix and mingle” with a flavour of Scottish culture as the unique backdrop.  Glasgow offers an ideal environment for this as Scottish hospitality is legendary and has highlights to offer that can make even a short stay an experience to remember.
