Your experiences about the travel processes(Providing ticket, accommodation,...) : |
It was the second participation of mine in the international congresses which was held in European countries. In my opinion it is important to have accomodation near the place which congress will be held because og high cost of transportation in European countries, although in this congress the public transportation was free for participants by the participation card. To me, improving the English language is so necessary to get the best result from congress. Both listening and speaking are important indeed. I think the knowledge of Iranian PhD student is so good but sometimes they cannot present their abilities due to some limitations in speaking fluently and confidently . I certainly try to improve myself and hope to participate in the next congress more strongly.People in the Netherlands knew the English very well , even elderly, and we had not any problem to communicate with others. It is not necessary to know Dutch if you want to go to the "Netherlands". In one word, to have good output, we should know the scientific language very well. |

Please give a briefing of your own observations and outcomes of the congress: : |
I want to highlight their good management and being on schedule.
It was a good experience in communication with other students and academic persons abroad. In my opinion the lectures and oral presentations were very valuable especially a lecture which was related to CVD risk prediction models. It was exactly in line with my interests and gave many valuable points to me. Professor " Karen Moon" was the lecturer who is one of the most famous clinical epidemiologists in the world and has many publications in high impact journals related to prediction models. |
