2010年10月份去意大利COMO参加了ISTP组织的APMS(advanced manufacturing and production )先进制造生产国际会议(http://www.apms-conference.org/ 2010.10.11-2010.11.13)。我是完全的独行大虾...教授不知道为啥这么合作,说自己忙不去,让我一个人自由翱翔...我表示很惋惜,其实心里都乐开花了...一个人有好处也有坏处,出门不少碰钉子,所以跨洋过海的参加一次国际会议,总算长了不少见识,也走了不少弯路,写个经验贴,给后来的兄弟姐妹们做个参考。
会议重要日期 切记好会议的重要日期(去年的和今年的类似,就贴个今年的)比如我这个是这样的 Hereafter the important dates of APMS 2011: 15 February 2011 Proposal for Special Session 提交的话,在网站申请账号上传即可,以后就在这里查状态和信息就行。 30 April 2011 Submission of Extended Abstract (min. 2.000 words)主要是这个基本上大半篇论文了,注意和ABSTRACT不一样 20 May 2011 Review process deadline 31 May 2011 Notification of acceptance of Extended Abstract 这个被ACCEPT后,就是接受了,等着叫最后论文和参加会议即可。当时我的论文,三个评委都基本上同意了,就ok了。 31 May 2011 Submission of Doctoral Workshop Paper 15 July 2011 Final paper and registration fee due 最终论文提交 23-24 September 2011 APMS Doctoral Workshop 26-27-28 September 2011 APMS 2010 Conference 这个流程走完,基本上就是准备杂事,去参加会议了。
会议准备 基本上我是按照下面的流程准备的,10月11日参加会议,所以基本上提前一个月准备就好。
签证 这个至少要提前一个月申请,以免过程中再耽误时间。我是在韩上学,所以从韩国出发,在意大利驻韩国大使馆办理的签证。网址:http://www.ambseoul.esteri.it 。但估计国内意大利大使馆要求的签证也都差不多,国内的童鞋可以参考国内意大利大使馆网址的要求。 直接根据自己情况去网上查就行。我发email问了下,使馆人员及时给我回复了,告诉我要准备的材料。参看附件1。 大概材料是 Requirements to obtain a short-stay visa for Invitation (to participate to a conference in Italy) 1.
