Hi to all, what encourage you to participate in an international conference? is it due to the Index, Key speakers, Enjoyment, Getting appropriate feedback, Others ? Your answers are so welcomed. Thank you.
It is more to build network with other researchers in the area of interest and refresh relationship with co-researchers.
It is more to build network with other researchers in the area of interest and refresh relationship with co-researchers.
In my opinion such activities are not only provide network with other researchers in addition to that it motivates researchers to share there ideas.
I experienced that there are lots of ideas and sometimes "we do not understand how useful it can be?" and how to get ahead with that idea.
Nageswara offered a good response. Yet in addition curiosity impels the researcher to attend an international conference, as András writes. However, this curiosity may have as its object the theme being keynoted at the conference or else the venue of the conference. Hold a conference in Venice, Italy, and watch the scholars flock to it.
Some of the reasons are to meet old friends and get the new ones, catch the latest in the scientific field assuming that attended Conference is scientifically recognized, learn something more about the country and the culture of the country, and many other reasons like pleasure, domestic food....
Dear @Ra'ed, let me remind the followers of this thread about some questions on Conferences that have many good responses!

Sharing ideas, research, understanding others, meeting and cooperating researchers, and enjoying.
This is a very good page about conferences : How to Make Friends and Meet People at a Scientific Conference , especially for younger researchers. Many good tips and useful advices on this issue. Activity does not end when Conference is closed!

it is not usually a loud announcement, but the location of the conference is very important as well. Many young researchers see attending an international conference as an opportunity to travel abroad and explore the destination. In addition, an international conference taking place in a country whose visa is easily issued attracts more researchers.
Dear All; It may be the exchange of research Ideas in person discussion and of course gathering new ones for further brain storming. Thanks
What encourage researchers, to participate in an international conference, are: Firstly, that the expenses are paid (you & me usually cannot cover the costs).Then come other driving factors such as subjects, attendants, and friendliness in the country hosting the conference.
Publication of proceedings/papers in well recognized journal or monograph series with worldwide recognized editors (keynote speakers during the conference). Impact Factor rules, I'm afraid.
Dear Colleagues,
Good Day,
Further more:
1- learn more about areas of our discipline that are not
researched in our home department.
2- Many presentations will inspire us with new ideas.
3- “Student conferences can not only open doors to your career, but also open your eyes to future opportunities, new cultures, and international perspectives.”
4- In my case - another benefit of attending a conference is the chance to go abroad with all expenses paid.
An urge to put his research in International arena and increases the sphere of his friendship in fellow researchers. Thanks
Normally I attend conference as presenter with my paper published as conference proceeding. i divided the drivers to attend conference into 2:
Before PhD Graduation (normally the conference proceeding paper is subset / extracted from thesis):
1) Evaluate how research community perceive my paper / research area (indirectly my thesis) & is there any knowledge contribution
2) Gain knowledge / learn more from audience Q&A on my paper and what similar research other people are doing - provide useful ideas how to further improve my thesis
3) Serve as practice for viva (present on time, answer questions confidently) - especially for those conference that will award best paper in terms of contents written, presentation and Q&A)
After PhD Completion:
1) Explore how the paper I'd written can be published as conference proceeding only or can be upgraded to journal articles (with some improved amendments)
2) Get In touch with research community / experts in my research areas to see what new ideas I can harness / should focus
3) Build up network of research (but finding this can be done via RG virtually also)
Building network with other researchers in the area of interest, being close to hot topics in the area.
Practical implications while organizing international seminars / conferences
The organizing committee of international seminars / conferences should strive as far as possible for a balance with respect to senior scientists, junior scientists, gender and geographic origin
Dear Colleagues,
Good Day,
Why are you going to the conference? The major reason is that it's good for you:
- to see the people who've written papers you've read,
- to see what's current in software engineering research,
- to start to build relationships with other researchers in the field,
- to tell people what you're doing and to find out what they are doing, and
- to find out that you're at least as smart and good as many of those researchers.
