BSCN Activities
Scientific Meetings
The Society holds three one-day ordinary scientific meetings each year open to members, and other interested parties by invitation. Details of forthcoming meetings can be found in the events page. It is customary for the Autumn meeting to be held in London.
Once every three years the society holds a week-long residential training course in Oxford
Occasional other scientifc meetings are arranged on themed subjects on an 'ad hoc' basis. These also appear on our events page
