Overview: Conferences Attended

The Conferences Attended sub-category provides for a comprehensive listing of various conferences attended. This may include conferences at which papers or workshops were either presented or hosted.

 If one has been invited to a conference, then it may still be captured in this sub-category as well as the subsequent Invitations to Conferences sub-category.

Each entry is listed by Conference (Title) and Dates. There is no restriction on the total number of entries you may add. Each Conferences Attended entry requires at least a Conference Title to be entered.

Existing entries may be edited / updated subsequently, if required, or deleted.  

Entries may be manually sorted into a logical order which will be used when generating CVs and displaying on websites.

Each subsequent entry on this page will be listed in a new row and will be displayed alternately in a blue / black font colour.  This formatting is only used within the eResearch Profile context and purely for ease of visual display of multiple entries.
