Dear Dr. Hikmat Abdulkarim Almadhkhori,

Thanks for your question. I feel it does not need to be either one or the other. One can do both. At a recent conference in Poland on Security also attended by many people from the police, another scientist and I held a training course at the end of the conference to introduce Intuitive Meditation and work with cognitive aspects which bring change, relaxation and new insights.. This was a highly welcomed innovation by the scientists who attended.

Warm regards Tina

Dear dr Hein And Dr Tina

Excellent, my colleagues have done good answers.

Thank u dear dr Isam

Dear dr Nada

I wish to spend enjoyable times

It is not easy to get away totally but prefer a conference in field different from mine so I will not stress myself yet learn a new thing.

Thank u dear dr Segun

Dear powerful and respected Dr.Hikmat Abdulkarim Almadhkhori,

I prefer engaging my self during the long vacation in something that would enhance and add value to my knowledge it may not be conference.

Best regards,

Kifilideen.

Thank u dear dr Lekan

Why not, it is better to take rest and enjoy .

Attending conferences during long vacations also gives people the feeling of enjoyment and relaxation. It is also an opportunity to meet friends from different educational institutions and different settings. They can exchange opinions and views about different scientific issues.

Do you prefer to get away and relax during the long vacation or participate in scientific conferences?

I prefer relax at home or get away with participation in scientific conferences

Perhaps attending conferences is a form of escape and may be considered a vacation.

The whole long vacation for relaxation purposes? Certainly not. I attend conferences in addition. Mostly it's travel for conference and visitation to tourist sites for relaxation purposes.

Dear colleagues, I acknowledge and respect the beautiful answers.

Greeting

Welcome dear dr khaoula

A researcher's toils are never really done.

Welcome dear dr Dennis

Relaxation and vacation are so important from time to time.

Dear dr Dhiaa, Good luck .

participate in scientific conferences?

Dear dr Ali,

Good morning dand Good luck .

Usually I prefer to get away and relax during the long vacation.

If opportunities are there,I prefer to join conferences as it refreshes mind.

It really depends on one's preferences. Some people prefer to work while relaxing. For such individuals, Attending conferences can also be a kind of vacation. By contrast, there are those who would rather have vacations for pleasure and relaxation only than intermixing work and vacation.

Yes sir I'm always ready for scientific conference..

-Y. Lethwala

Interesting question, good answers.

Beside academic explorations, taking a vacation is also necessary as teaching, in particular, could sometimes become stressful. Sometimes it is good to give the brain a rest as vacation is a good opportunity to reduce the stress level. .

I like both. It depends on time and workload preceded

I, normally, do not wait for the long vacation before embarking on conference attendance. However, long vacation is a period of research undertakings and short rest for me (not necessarily conference attendance, which may be dealt with thereafter), but may still have me attend a conference or two within the period.

Thanks to sll my dear

As a private entrepreneur, such choices do not exist.

Short vacation is possible, and short conferences too.

I am relaxing while sleeping, and walk our dog 3 times a day.

In addition, I like to stay in nature and to meditate about theology.

Relax

Just over two months ago I moved to Portugal, a truly beautiful country, removing myself thereby from the demands and hurley-burley of big city life and constantly working. I now simply write, usually in one of the many cafes which have internet, sip coffee, clatter away on my laptop and deal with clients from a safe distance. I will in fact stay in Portugal for a while. The sun is beating down, the Portuguese are cheerful and helpful, around me are mountains covered in trees and decorated with the criss-cross patterns of small farms.

I´ve earned this, my present adventure in the civilised embrace of cautious solitude, working at my own speed, in my own time, in a land distant from the assorted pressures of work.

Going to a conference is work! I love vacations to get away from work.

It would depend on situations. Though, I would prefer to get away and relax during the long vacation; however, I may also like attend if high level scientific conferences of my interest are there.

Thank u to all my dear

Very interesting answers, Dear colleagues! I think relax is relax and the conference is still working even during the vacation.

Thanks for recommending my answer@

Welcome dear dr Syed

I like to take a break and cool off during vacation and return refreshed if chanced

Thank u dear dr Jumoke

Why we can't choose the both together?

BR.

Thank u dear dr Noha

I think participating in a conference is more enjoyable than relaxing in a vacation. Also, conferences may have some relaxing aspects in time slots and evenings.

Thank u dear dr Yasser

I would prefer conferences and collaboration. But making sometime for leisure to reduce stress would be useful.

Usually I study .

Thank u dear

I do not prefer to travel long distances during vacation as the need to fulfill my family goals.

I would prefer to attend conference in nearby locality, do online courses and spend relaxing time with family.

Thank u my dear dr Helen

Congratulations, dear Dr.Hikmat Abdulkarim Almadhkhori for your very interesting work!

I prefer the first (get away and relax during the long vacation).

Regards

Thank u dear dr Malik and dr Aristidis

Thank u dear dr khoula

I would rather be in a scientific conference. If I am not presenting I can relax very well

Thank u dear dr Borden
