学术会议的兴起与发展

 学术会议与科学技术的传播与创新息息相关。在科学发展早期，学术会议兴起于无形学院式的学术聚会，随着现代科学的发展，学术会议被逐步制度化，会议的目的、形式、功能等被格式化，显示出独有的特征；学术会议的类型不断丰富，内容专业化，会议流程、功能以及组织管理也逐步规范化、社会化，在促进科学发展和学术繁荣方面发挥着越来越大的作用。从20世纪初期到20世纪50、60年代，学术会议迎来了产业化发展的重要时期，学术会议的目标体系、组织形式、交流方式、运行流程、文化氛围等，都随着时代的发展不断变化，具有了新的内涵。中国的学术会议伴随着西方科学在中国的逐渐生根而成长发展，从20世纪末至今进入繁荣期，并提出了更高的质量要求。未来的学术会议则呈现出专业化、信息化、精品化、实用化、国际化、平权化、联合化、营销化的发展趋势。

The Origin and Development of Academic Conferences

Academic conferences are closely related with the communication and innovation in science and technology. In the early stage of scientific development, academic conferences were in a shape of academic gatherings without a definite form. With the development of modern science, academic conferences were gradually institutionalized, and the purpose, form and function took some formats, with unique characteristics. The academic conferences, on the other hand, become more diversified in forms, with objectives specialized and with the process, the function, the organization and the management standardized, socialized and internationalized.. Academic conferences play an increasingly important role in the promotion of the academic prosperity and the scientific development, From the 1900s' to the 1950s' or the 1960s', academic conferences were in an important period for industrialization. The objectives, organization forms, communication modes, running processes and culture atmosphere are constantly changing with a new connotation. Along with the process of science gradually taking root in China, the academic conferences in China have also developed. Since the late 20th century, they have been in the boom with high quality requirements. Future academic conferences see the principal trends of specialization, information, boutique-oriented, practical, international, equal rights, joint-oriented, marketing-oriented.
