2013 Annual Conference

3rd-5th September

Edinburgh 

The 52nd Annual Conference and Annual General Meeting of the Association will be held at Edinburgh University,  one of the leading Universities in Scotland ranking 16th in the University league tables.

The University was officially established by a Royal Charter granted by James VI in 1582 after the explicit petitioning of the Council. The fact that it was funded by the Town Council makes it in many ways the first civic university known.

The Conference will be held in the University's Conference Centre, which is integral with the conference accomodation. Edinburgh is a delightful and vibrant city, with many tourist attractions and we look forward to welcoming the membership to Scotland's Capital City.

 Put the dates in your diary, we look forward to seeing you in Edinburgh...3rd - 5th September 2013
