The importance of conferences

MDPI believes that it is important to be involved in the promotion of research and is involved in a number of conferences. With our upcoming conferences lists, we hope to increase visibility and participation. Are you organizing a conference related to a topic covered by one of our journals? Suggest your event for consideration at https://www.mdpi.com/events/add. As open access and with active dissemination of information is part of our DNA, we want to encourage conferences.
