We are looking forward to a stimulating scientific meeting embracing every aspect of palaeolimnology involving scientists, young and old, from every corner of the world, and we are planning a social programme to suit all tastes.

The meeting will take place in the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre (SECC) in the centre of Glasgow where there are first-rate facilities for both oral and poster sessions.

Glasgow itself is one of the UK’s most cultured and lively cities. It is located on the famous River Clyde with Loch Lomond giving access to the stunning Scottish Highlands only a short distance away to the north.

The Local Organising Committee (from University College London and the University of Glasgow) together with colleagues throughout the UK are working hard to ensure the symposium will be successful and memorable and we will do all in our power to take care of your needs.
