Eden Court is pleased to support the Scottish science community.
DRT 2017 is the 21st International Conference on Deformation Mechanisms, Rheology and Tectonics and is one of the main world forums for presenting and discussing research in the fields of rock deformation, structural geology, rheology, tectonics, microstructures, rock physics and interactions between deformation and metamorphic/diagenetic reactions.
A biennial international meeting that has been running for 40 years, it’s organised and hosted by academic staff from different European universities with DRT 2017 organised by the Tectonics group of the School of Geosciences, University of Aberdeen.
The Scottish Centre of Excellence in Satellite Applications (SoXSA) is innovating for a better world empowered by satellites and has an end-to-end focus on the use of satellite-derived data to challenge conventional ideas and develop new concepts in the exploitation of space for the betterment of life on Earth.
SoXSA seeks to foster economic growth and launch new opportunities.
Chief executive of Eden Court, Colin Marr, commented: “It is wonderful to welcome not one, but two diverse science conferences to Eden Court this coming week.
“I’m delighted that Eden Court and the growing city of Inverness, with all it has to offer, is attracting a host of international, national and local conferences that in turn generate millions of pounds of revenue for businesses throughout the year across Inverness and the Highlands.”
