Staying up to date: Alerting & current awareness services: Conferences

This guide provides information about how to set up alerts to be notified of new information in your field across resources such as journals, books, websites, conferences, research data and funding.

How to find relevant conferences in your field

Conferences are very useful for keeping up to date with the most recent progress in your discipline.

As so many conferences are held each year worldwide, it can be difficult to find those that are most relevant to you.
