About the conference

The South Downs Research Conference provides a rare opportunity to attend a truly multidisciplinary and cross-sectoral event:

Previous years have reflected the broad scope of research currently being undertaken across the South Downs from the effects of invasive species or the use of drones to monitor landscape change to the history of the South Downs post service. Presenters have come from a range of academic institutions as well as industry and government organisations.
