We are planning to host this symposium in Hyderabad, which is a well developed, beautiful and historical city of India. It has a cosmopolitan population of almost eight million. There are several well-known research universities and institutes in Hyderabad. Historical places in the city include the Charminar, Purana pul and Mecca Masjid. Being a mega hub for IT, Hyderabad (Cyberabad as it is sometimes referred to) is well-equipped with many hotels and convention centers, where international meetings of all sizes are often held, and it has also excellent transport facilities.
