AW: [ RadSafe ] IRPA 12 Congress in Buenos Aires

[Franz Schönhofer]

Björn,

My comment is very simple: I never take part in such "monster-conferences",
not even when it was held in Vienna, my town of residence. The fee is much
to high. I do not believe that any reasonable work can be done at a
conference with several parallel sessions, which one is usually not able to
switch to in time. The topics are much to broad to be able to find out about
details of interest.  

Sorry, I just came back from a conference in Marocco, less than 200
participants - a number enabling one contacting everybody on topics of
interest and to establish new contacts. 

I will not visit such IRPA monster conferences in the future. 

Med vaenlig haelsning,

Franz

>From what I learned:
Almost 1700 participants from more than 90 countries. 400 participants from
Latin America.
1500 abstracts and over 1000 posters and much more material.
 
I am now trying to digest all this and may come back with some scientific
comments (I am still recovering from some "bug" I got the last conference
day). Perhaps there are other Radsafers who could share their experiences.
