BSRG Annual General Meeting
The BSRG AGM is the most important event in the BSRG calender and is the focus for much of
BSRG's activities. The meeting features an extensive academic and social
programme which includes pre-conference workshops, talk and poster sessions and
the conference dinner. Details on how to register, talk and poster format,
accommodation, travel, programme etc. will be added here.
Why should you attend the AGM?
There are many reasons to attend the BSRG AGM. The meeting provides a chance to meet other
researchers, your peers, industry contacts and perhaps even a future employer?
The talk and poster sessions provide an excellent opportunity to advertise your
research to a sympathetic audience and catch up on the UK sedimentology
research scene. The extensive social programme also means that the meeting
should be an enjoyable social event for all.
Want to organise an AGM?
The AGMs are usually organised voluntarily by a group of sedimentologists in a university
department. With sufficient forward planning (we recommend 2 years), available lecture theatres
and poster space, local university housing or hotel accommodation, and an
enthusiastic group of postgraduate and student helpers, the task is far from
onerous. A written set of hints and guidelines was drawn up by John Howell and
will be edited by each successive AGM convenor to ease the task of their
successor. Please contact
if you would like to discuss hosting an AGM or need more information on what this entails.
