The IRC2020 Conference will take place on 27-28 august 2020, in Trieste, Italy. The meeting is intended as a forum to discuss advances in the study of rock coasts and will include a range of presentations relevant to Rock Coast Geomorphology. The organizing committee, part of the IAG Working Group on Rocky Coasts, will review proposed papers and posters titles and abstracts, and, if successful the author(s) will be invited to present their work at the Conference.

The IRC2020 Conference will be of interest and direct benefit to those who research, manage, conserve and develop the rock coastal zone, not only on a local or state basis, but also at an international level. Specifically this event will be useful to: Coastal scientists and researchers, Coastal planners/managers, coastal/marine conservation organizations, environmental consultancies/engineers, government environment agencies, local authorities.
As a key point of the Conference it will be organized a two-day (29-30 August) field trip to the Gulf of Trieste in order to visit some of the classical rock coast study site locations along the Istrian coast.
