[The Early Careers' Conference will be free of charge for BSSS Early Career members with one overnight stay included.]
We are pleased to announce that the next British Society of Soil Science Early Careers' Conference will be take place in Manchester on Monday 1 and Tuesday 2 December.
Venue: The Conference will be held at King's House Conference Centre, Manchester, M1 7HB
Abstract: The scientific committee is currently accepting oral and poster abstracts across five topics, linked to the conference theme, Resilient Soils for a Sustainable Future:
- Soils for People
- Soils for Climate
- Soils for Water
- Advances for Soils
- Soils for Life
Oral abstract submissions will be open until Sunday 31 August. Poster abstract submissions will be open until Friday 24 October.
You can find out more about the abstract themes and how to submit via the BSSS website.
About the Conference: The Early Career conference will take place on 1-2 December (immediately before the BSSS Annual Conference) and will be free of charge for BSSS Early Career members. A wide range of Early Career members from Academia, Industry, and Policy will come together for a variety of themed sessions, including talks, posters, and workshops, with social activities including a Conference Dinner (on 1 December). The packed two-day event will provide delegates with a fantastic opportunity to see the latest research and developments within soil science.
Programme: The full programme will be released in due course. Given the significant changes to our EC committee this year, we’re taking this opportunity to warmly welcome our new members, share some exciting updates on our progress, and allow time for networking before diving into presentations. Across the two days, you’ll have the chance to hear the latest scientific developments in soil science through a range of oral and poster presentations from your peers. We’re also hosting several workshops aimed at enhancing your communication skills and helping you better translate your science for different audiences.
One of the highlights will be a panel session showcasing diverse career journeys in soil science and the skills required along the way. This year, we’re expanding our options with parallel workshop sessions, including an option focused on soil classification and description—perfect if practical soil skills is more your style. We’ll wrap up the event with abstract awards and a final roundup
We are delighted to be working partnership with Manchester Accommodation BID in the delivery of the event, and would like to thank them for their continued support and expertise.
