What were the responses to your talking points? Were specific questions or concerns raised? : |
The questions were upon the reasons that we present for the elimination of Urinary Schistosomiasis from Iran. In the other session of mine entitled Recent Paleoparasitological findings in Iran, the participants from European countries were exited and their questions were upon the capability of the current research in Iran. The answers were very satisfying to them. |

Your experiences about the travel processes(Providing ticket, accommodation,...) : |
Comparing with the other countries I and my colleagues faced to very hard situations, concerning the visa process and economy. But the most important issue that suffers us as TUMS academic staff with presenting 2 lectures, for instance, and chairing the pannel in a case for me, is the great difference between the coverage of travel expense fromTUMS which is very low and other Iranian research centers and Universities which are significantly more.................................................................................................................................................................................................................. |
Please give a briefing of your own observations and outcomes of the congress: : |
It is always a very interesting scientific occasion that could not be attained ever without the active participation in international congresses. I personally, prefer to pay for this types of travel instead of expend my few amount of money for other personal needs which might have been more accepted to general people . With this opportunities the level of knowledge and research values will grow . Having an overview from the current international level in the field of parasitology, will help us to change and/or correct our attitudes toward writing research proposals . In this congress I simply understood that our new field of research (paleoparasitology) is looks important in the mind of European researchers |
