Abstract
In the following pages we take a look inside international scientific meetings. We recommend upper-intermediate English speakers to quickly go over them and intermediate English speakers to review this section thoroughly in order to become familiar with the jargon of international congresses, as well as that of the conversational scenarios such as the airport, plane, customs, taxi, hotel checking in, and finally the course itself that make up the usual itinerary of every scientist attending an international course.
