\u201cMy experience was excellent. The idea of organising everything in a venue (hotel, conference, dinner) was very good. It was very comfortable.<\/p>\n

Regarding the structure, the workshops for postgraduates were very interesting, not only for them, but also for non-native English-speaking scholars who experience similar difficulties when trying to publish in English, with others added because of the language. The organisation of each session was mostly\u00a0very well done, although it is impossible to avoid that some sessions were very heterogeneous. The dinner in Cairns was fantastic. I loved the music. Thank you very much for your hospitality!<\/p>\n
