  Research on coastal physical processes in the UK occurs under a variety of different disciplinary labels, including oceanography, geography, geology and engineering. As a result, the coastal research community is fragmented and there is limited interaction and collaboration between the different disciplines. This lack of integration is most acutely felt by young coastal researchers (post-docs and PhDs), who, ironically, are most open to multi- and interdisciplinary interactions.

To promote the development of a more integrated UK coastal research community, the first Young Coastal Scientists and Engineers Conference (YCSEC) was organised in Nottingham in 2005, followed by the second YCSEC in Southampton in 2006. We would like to invite you to the third YCSEC to be held in Plymouth. The conference aims to bring together young researchers and practitioners from different disciplines, but all concerned with physical coastal processes. Young researchers will be given the opportunity to discuss and present their work, either orally or in the form of a poster, in a relatively informal setting. In addition to the formal elements of the meeting, there will be ample opportunity to socialise and network.

The maximum cost for attending the conference will be £60 and this includes Icebreaker with buffet, conference diner, book of abstracts and field trip to the Devon coast.

Everyone is welcome!
