The Frontiers of Science (FoS) intends to bring together 35-40 outstanding young scientists and engineers from all over India, to have a dialogue across six areas of expertise, namely, Materials Science, Biology, Optical Physics, Medicinal Chemistry, Engineering and Astrochemistry. The aim of this brainstorming session is to discuss, deliberate and collaborate through presentations of exciting advances in one’s own field of expertise, and simultaneously learn about research at the cutting edge of other scientific disciplines.
This conference is being organised by Indian National Young Academy of Science (INYAS). An Inter-session poster presentation is also planned to allow young post doctoral researchers and participating Faculty who are not speakers, to gain from interactions in the symposium.
It is expected through such Brainstorming Sessions, young scientists and engineers from contrasting disciplines will interact at the frontiers of fields other than their own areas of research, and contribute to formulation of science policy and mandates at the national scale. The goal of the event is to introduce the young scientists and engineers of outstanding caliber across India to foster inter-institutional collaboration through cross fertilization of ideas across the disciplines, resulting into generation of new scientific and technical concepts and approaches. Attendance of this conference is by invitation only.
