On the importance of the conference

Needless to say that conferences are professionally important. They allow researchers to meet in friendly and relaxed atmosphere to discuss the latest developments in areas of their particular interest. Here they can exchange their views and ideas and find potential partners for future collaboration and common projects. Conferences give the opportunity to interact with famous scientists, learn about the latest advances in fundamental and innovative areas.

Potential participants receive announcements or circulars with the information on registration, programme, short courses, expositions, housing, etc. They are asked to send back a conference registration form with the indication of a participant's last and first a name, an organization name, the name of academic institution, an address, a telephone number, email, registration fee, selected area of scientific interest, type and the name of the presentation (lecture, communication, poster).

All conferences should strictly follow instructions. Time needed for the presentation should also be indicated.

Conferences also provide an efficient means for establishing a personal network of individuals who can be helpful professionally: people who know how to do things to mutual interest or who have useful information. Conferences serve different purposes than does a printed word. At conferences one can observe intellectual creativity in action. Many people feel that conferences are intellectually much more stimulating than the formal papers.

Even listening to a discussion of a familiar subject can be educational. When the subject is familiar, the listener concentrates on the development of the material.

A full programme of social events allows participants to take advantage of these international meetings.
