We invite you to join us for this exciting event to be held at The University of Edinburgh, Scotland, in what is our centenary year. Social Work at Edinburgh University began in 1918, and we are using 2018 as an opportunity to look backwards and forwards, nationally and internationally, at what social work is now and might be in the future.
We hope you will get a taste of Scotland and Scottish life and hear more about our centenary project, while taking part in what promises to be a thought-provoking conference and meeting-place for researchers from across Europe and beyond. Edinburgh is a very lively city, and we have some special treats in store for you.

1Appleton Tower
Appleton Tower is the centrepiece of the University of Edinburgh's George Square Complex and offers five state-of-the-art lecture theatres, each seating 200 to 300 delegates, plus a teaching studio, seminar spaces and an extensive concourse area.
The Appleton Tower concourse space is particularly suited to exhibitions and poster displays, making this Edinburgh First venue ideal for lectures and presentations or as a breakout space for events held elsewhere in the George Square area.
