Workshops

Workshop

Workshop is basically an interactive session (meeting) at which a group of people engage in intensive discussion and activity (with improvisation) on a particular subject or project.

Global Scientific Forum organizes several workshops for the participants within conferences & seminars, and even prior to some conferences too. Workshops aim to increase the capacity and knowledge of delegates around the latest scientific research, focusing on transferring knowledge through intensive interaction with the audience. Workshops engage participants in deeper discussion and learning about a specific topic relevant to their research activities. GSF welcomes workshop proposals, it can be 60 or 90-minutes in length.

At Global Scientific Forum, we provide well equipped room/hall for every workshop with one podium and one screen and projector (two screens and projectors will be equipped for bilingual presentations), powered wireless internet facility. Microphones are also well equipped where required. Facilitators must provide their own laptop, and they are responsible for bringing workshop materials and the electronic copy of their presentation to their workshop. On-site printing is advised to do at the venue’s business center.
