<p>Dear Anita,</p><p>I would like to address the possibility of holding the 2014 Web3D Conference in Korea as follows:</p><p>1) <br>We are guessing that it will be difficult to garner enough interest for 100 participants at a Korean-held conference. <br>
The reason lies in the Korean academic evaluation policy where presentation of research papers at conferences does not hold much weight.<br>This policy is adopted in almost all universities and research institutes in Korea. <br>
I’m not sure of the rationale behind the policy, but it could have to do with the difficulty of classifying the numerous and various conferences as far as quality and value goes. As a result of the policy, many Korean researchers don’t participate in submitting papers for presentation at conferences and, therefore, participation by Korean researchers would likely be low.</p>
<p>An added issue is that participation by foreigners may be low due to expensive travel.</p><p>In my opinion, I think we could realistically expect 20 attendees from Korea. <br> <br>2) <br>Despite this, if you would still like to hold the conference in Korea, <br>
we will look for a sponsor capable of providing a conference venue with two or three meeting rooms. <br>Most likely, other expenditures will not be supported at this time. </p><div>I am sorry not to have a more positive response to your suggestion. <br>
<br>Sincerely,</div><div> </div><div>Myeong<br></div><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Oct 26, 2012 at 12:07 AM, Anita Havele <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:anita.havele@web3d.org" target="_blank">anita.havele@web3d.org</a>></span> wrote:<br>
