At DisCoVor, we believe that scientific exchange extends beyond the conference venue. Creating opportunities for discussion, collaboration, and community building is an important part of the conference experience. To encourage networking in a relaxed and informal environment, the scientific programme is scheduled in the mornings only, while afternoons are reserved for social activities and excursions around Edinburgh, allowing delegates to continue conversations with colleagues, meet new collaborators, and experience some of the landmarks, history, and scenery that make Edinburgh such a distinctive conference destination. Details of the social activities are provided below.
