The seminar days.....

An international seminar is expected to bring out the diverse academic intellect in to one platform. Discourses bring out the progress in different research themes across the world. This seminar was an outcome of joint effort of four universities  Akdeniz University (Turkey), Kemptem University of Applied Sciences (Germany), University of Sannio (Italy) and University of Seville (Spain) . Professors, Scholars and industry experts from various countries are encouraged from worldwide to present innovative findings. The international scene is quite different from what we see in India. Professors with high impact research findings present their papers among curious audience. I could find that a top executive of a tour company from Belgium attended the conference to know about the varying trends in visitor satisfaction, technology, online trade etc. I made some good friends from Russia, Brazil, Mexico, U K, Turkey, Poland etc. and a handful of very eminent professors from USA, UK, Germany

Incubation of innovative ideas come from researches and studies. Dedication to the work, support system, mendering are the main areas which we lack in our education system.  I have been given an assignment to chair a session, in which I also had to present my paper.
