The highs and lows of scientific conferences. Review uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • What are the main characteristics of scientific conferences and what distinguishes the successful meetings from the less successful? Here, semi-seriously, I present a set of observations and suggestions that are organized into categories (such as big versus little conferences and long versus short conferences) and, for each category, I award the new meeting Oscars - the Georges.
