SGR Conferences
Scientists for Global Responsibility (SGR) organises a conference roughly once a year (in the autumn) on issues of concern related to science, design and technology.
Keynote speakers are leading researchers/commentators in their field, and the event also includes SGR's Annual General Meeting, together with poster sessions or workshops.
This section of the website includes reports of previous conferences. Links to conference presentations and related material are provided where available.
