5th Annual International Sustainable Development Conference
‘Sustainability - Creating the Culture’
Drumossie Hotel, Inverness, Highland, Scotland, 12/13th November 2008
The Sustainable Development Research Centre (SDRC) would like to thank all the speakers and delegates who attended our 5th annual conference. The standard of speakers this year was very high and all agreed that there were some fascinating topics for discussion. Researchers and Practitioners critically examined issues within three main themes and a selection of their papers will be published in a special issue of the International Journal of Sustainable Development and World Ecology.
The Conference Dinner, held in the Drumossie Hotel was sponsored this year by Horizon Scotland, Forres and we would like to thank them for their generosity.
