Abstract
An electronic extension of a face-to-face symposium or a congress enables people to participate in the symposium from their home countries. Using a terminal linked to a computer-based messaging or conferencing system, a participant can read and discuss abstracts of papers and posters presented at a symposium, and can conduct asynchronous discussions with the participants gathered at the symposium venue. The use of computer conferencing or computer-mediated communication to electronically extend face-to-face symposia and congresses to the majority of researchers and scientists who are unable to attend such symposia due to financial or travel restrictions has many benefits; some of which are: it promotes rapid information exchange, facilitates increased participation in the discussion of papers and posters and it is cost effective.
