ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

The SCLF annual conference was back in person!!

As ever, the aim of the conference was to facilitate knowledge transfer in the land contamination sector. It also provided the opportunity for some face to face networking - it had been a while!!

SCLF strives to deliver an interdisciplinary and diverse mix of presenters, with a broad spectrum of perspectives on the current state of land contamination knowledge.

The Conference Guide is available to download. In it you will find the full programme, speaker biographies, presentation abstracts, exhibitors and accessibility information.
