Scotland's EIA Conference 2022 

Download the Agenda and slide decks from the day

Our 2022 iteration of Scotland’s EIA Conference was the first since the pandemic to return to a face to face event, run in our traditional 'home' at the Edinburgh Training & Conference Centre just off the Royal Mile.

120 delegates had the opportunity to attend and there were great discussions across the theme of Advancing Environmental Impact Assessment Practice. Feedback from delegates was very positive and the event's partners - Fothergill Training & Consulting, the Scottish Government, HES, NatureScot and SEPA were please and proud to see such a positive response to discussions on making best use of this essential tool within development consenting.

​

The 2022 conference was sponsored by Brodies LLP, LUC, RSK and SSE Renewables who also helped shape the agenda and catalyse discussions throughout the day.
