The UKSDN is passionate about encouraging practice informed research and research informed practice. We are inviting submissions for papers and posters to be presented at the UKSDN 2018 conference. Presentations will last for a maximum of 10 minutes and will form part of a convened discussion to stimulate critical, forward-thinking conversations.
