Description of the practice
It is very often the case that the dates scheduled for an academic conference coincide with classes. In such a situation, students who wish to be additionally involved in scientific activities should not have to give this up just because it will negatively affect their attendance. Students presenting at conferences also become ambassadors for their universities. As such, they should not feel victimised for wanting to add their contribution to the scientific world.
Key elements of practice
1. Inclusion of appropriate formal provisions regarding the acceptance of a certificate of attendance as an excuse for absence.
2. The favour and understanding of the lecturers.
3. The honesty of the students.
