Social and Networking Events

In addition to the scientific programme, DRT 2027 will feature a range of social and networking activities designed to foster connections, encourage collaboration, and support professional development across all career stages. Whether you are a student, early-career researcher, academic, or industry professional, these events provide excellent opportunities to engage with the DRT community in an informal and welcoming environment.

Woman in Geoscience

Bringing together women across the geosciences, this event provides a relaxed and inclusive space for conversation – to share experiences, discuss opportunities and challenges, and build connections. We welcome all who identify as women and non-binary colleagues who would benefit from this space, at all career stages, from undergraduate students to established academic researchers and industry professionals.

Speed Networking Game

A fast-paced networking event designed to help you meet fellow conference attendees and spark new conversations in a fun, quick-fire format. Join us over dinner to learn about each other’s research interests and current projects, helping to set the stage for the rest of the conference.

Mentor Matching

Connect with others through our mentor matching programme! Opt to be paired with a mentor for career guidance and support, or volunteer as a mentor to share your experience and help others navigate their professional journey.
