GPR2008 sought to showcase not only the best in terms of academic and applied papers and posters, but also the cutting edge of GPR and related technology.  A full conference programme, technical exhibitions, practical demonstrations and poster sessions combined to make GPR2008 a very successful conference.

GPR2008 in Birmingham included all the normal activities of a thoroughly professional academic conference.  Supported by four GPR departments within the University of Birmingham and the GPR industry from both the UK and Europe it was a very memorable event held in an exciting and vibrant city.
