PARTICIPATING
IN CONFERENCES
Participation in conferences presents a unique
opportunity to engage the general public and other entities, public and
private, in the development of science. A conference is a seminar, symposium,
educational program, or similar event organized to discuss scientific matters.
Conferences are usually organized either by a
scientific society or by a group of researchers with a common interest to
present and discuss their work. Together with academic or scientific journals,
conferences provide an important channel for exchanging information between
researchers.
Conferences are usually composed of various
presentations. They tend to be short and concise, with a time span of about 10
to 30 minutes; presentations are usually followed by a discussion. Usually a
conference will include keynote speakers. The keynote lecture is often longer,
lasting sometimes up to an hour and a half.
In addition to presentations, conferences also
feature panel discussions, round tables on various issues and workshops.
The larger the conference, the more likely it is
that academic publishing houses may set up displays.
