Targeted conferences: Targeted conferences for the grants include – but are not limited to – the SAR International Conference on Artistic Research or the xCOAx. Warning about predatory conferences The proliferation of predatory conferences has increased. These events are considered to be poorly organised or non-existent conferences that exploit presenters and attendees by collecting registration fees. When identifying venues for presenting your research, please consider the following recommendations to avoid predatory conferences. You can find more information about this growing phenomenon in the following links: https://libraryguides.salisbury.edu/PredatoryPublishing/conferences https://risingscholars.net/en/news/details/1156/
