Probably an inexperienced question... any help appreciated...

I'm applying for funding to attend a conference and the form is asking what benefits of me attending the conference are - and it wants a few hundred words justification. My main benefit is that I will get to disseminate this piece of research. Obviously I will meet people and hear about others work. And I will talk with people and establish new connections for possible future collaborations. But how to turn that into a detailed response of a few hundred words? Maybe I should cite particular groups who I know will be there whose work is of interest to me?! Any ideas would be helpful.

All done! Once I got going, it wasn't hard after all! Thanks anyway :)

Good to know you made it. Nice of you that you post after the problem is solved.

Thanks Eng! And here is the link that helped me (in case anyone else on this forum has a similar query): http://www.globalacademicinstitute.com/8-reasons-to-attend-international-academic-conferences/
