Welcome to the SED in Edinburgh!

Edinburgh is an award-winning visitor destination and one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, with a unique atmosphere, charm and originality, where stunning cultural heritage fuses with the best of modern, dynamic city life. Steeped in history, the architecture of the historic Old Town and the Georgian New Town blend seamlessly with modern developments. Take a stroll from the iconic Edinburgh Castle at the top of the Royal Mile to the designer shops on George Street and you will experience the sights and sounds of a diverse and vibrant city.

Wherever you are coming from, however you choose to travel, getting to Edinburgh is easy. Scotland’s capital is within reach by air, road, rail and sea with excellent UK, European and transatlantic connections. Please see our Transportation page for further details.

We are excited to host a number of social events during your time here, kicking off with our Pre-Conference Event at the City Chambers, hosted in association with the Bank of England and MacCaLM.  Professor Mark Gertler will set the tone for the conference, providing a special seminar on the afternoon of June 21. For more details visit our Social Events page.

Hope to see you in Edinburgh in June! On behalf of the local organising committee,
