Dear Scholar,
For the people like me from poor countries, attending an international conference is a very expensive task. At first I afraid from the registration fee, later from other associated cost also. I am looking forward for your views, how do you feel while attending the conference?
Yes it is. You have to find some kind of funding either from your university, conference committee(s), self-funding, ..etc.
Really, Conference is very important academic activities (Not predatory conferences!!) because of sharing and exchanging latest updates and recently published paper plus getting a great chance to met principal scientist from different universities and countries and improving your communication skills including English language different accents, and ....endless list.
Regards, Emad
Thank you Dr Emad for your valuable suggestions. Now I am in Japan and a conference in Tokyo University. Next week going week going to attend another seminar in Kyoto University a little bit far from Tokyo.
At my institution, there is a fund that provides every permanent faculty member a set amount each year that they can spend on conferences. I submit an application at the beginning of each academic year demonstrating that the conferences I want funding for are relevant to my professional development. Since I try to get an expanded version of every conference paper published, the publicity the institution gets from the published versions makes the support a good return for its money.
