conferences related to information

by Paul Nieuwenhuysen, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Pleinlaan 2, B-1050 Brussel, Belgium

The following is a list of links to WWW sites. It forms an overview of overviews.
I am not aware of any list that is more comprehensive for this subject domain.
It is hoped that this overview can be useful in the continuous professional development of colleagues.
The entries are sorted on the basis of the URL of the WWW site.
Suggestions for improvement, additions and corrections are welcome.
