Welcome
It is our pleasure to invite you to attend the third joint meeting of the Bone Research Society and the British Society for Matrix Biology, in Edinburgh, UK.
The venue is John McIntyre Conference Centre at Pollock Halls, which is ideally located in the heart of Edinburgh, close to major national and international transport hubs.
The scientific programme is exciting and varied. Our keynote speakers are of international standing and come from a wide range of disciplines, reflecting the interests of both societies. The science presented at the meeting should be enlightening and stimulating for both clinical and basic scientists.
A key component of the meeting will be the extensive opportunities for informal discussion and for poster viewing, including an extended early evening session on Tuesday 1 September.
There are many opportunities to arrange cheap travel to Edinburgh, particularly if booked early, and with a range of accommodation available on-site, it should be possible to keep your financial outlay relatively low.
Both the BRS and the BSMB are delighted to offer a number of new investigator awards and travel or ‘reporter’ bursaries, as well as prizes for oral and poster presentations.
We would also like to extend a warm invitation to our colleagues in continental Europe: the science will be excellent, with an international feel, and Edinburgh has never been closer or more affordable!
We look forward to seeing you in Edinburgh for what promises to be an exciting meeting between our two societies.
