- As academic conferences have become an indispensable part of contemporary science, providing researchers with an opportunity to present the results of recent investigations, become familiar with the studies of other scientists, and build and expand a network for future collaborations, this paper aims at examining Algerian researchers' perceptions of virtual academic conferences with regard the scientifc requirements of postgraduate students earning the required credits for their theses' defence and associate faculty members seeking promotion in their career. To this end, a questionnaire adapted from the relevant literature was compiled and sent to various Algerian researchers in the EFL field via their professional emails, with 40 replies being received. Data was analysed using numerals and percentage for closed items of the questionnaire, and thematic analysis for open-ended questions. Results of the study showed that the majority of participants are positive about virtual conferences, despite the technical challenges mainly associated with Internet accessibility and the decline in social interaction. The study concludes with a set of recommendations to raise stakeholders' awareness of technology support and future improvements to meet participants' needs.
