6.4 Communication and Use of Research Results

6.4.1 Communication of research results at scientific conferences and meetings

In 2014, students and scientists in ISP-supported research groups and scientific networks made 234 presentations at scientific conferences and meetings, 116 on the international level (INT; 50%; Table 18a), 83 on the regional level (REG; 35%; Table 18b), and 35 at the national or local level (NAT; 15%; Table 18c).

On the international level, 68% of the contributions were given orally, and on the regional and national/local levels 81% and 91%, respectively. The remaining contributions were poster presentations. In Africa, 103 contributions (44%) were given (24 at international, 64 at regional, and 15 at national/local meetings). In Asia, 86 contributions (37%) were given (51 at international, 16 at regional, and 19 at national/local meetings). In Europe 35 contributions (15%) were given (32 at international, two at regional, and one at a national/local meetings). In the Americas 10 contributions (4%) were given (9 at international meetings, one at a regional meeting, and none at national/local meetings).

The entries are given essentially as reported to ISP. Meetings are listed chronologically for each country, and contributions listed according to ISP group/network code, followed by author.
