NanoSPD 8

Welcome Message

Dear Delegate,

On behalf of organizing committee, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore and Department of Materials Engineering of the Institute, we welcome you to NanoSPD – 8. This is the first time this triennial conference is going to be organized in India, and we at Bangalore aim to ensure an excellent experience to you and the accompanying person. We are expecting to host more than 300 delegates, with more than 150 international delegates. Besides plenary talks, the conference will have 3 parallel sessions and a poster session. In the spirit of NanoSPD conferences, there will be ample time for the talk and especially discussion following each talk.

We will take a break from the technical program in the middle of the conference – i.e., on 3rd day, to take a tour of nearby historical places and for discussions to initiate and build collaborations as well as socialization. We are aware of the diversity of the delegates and we have considered it while planning for food, sightseeing, accommodation, etc. We will also organize cultural programs filled with classical dances and music of India, in general, and southern India, in particular.

End of February-early March is quite pleasant in Bangalore - with an excellent mix of sun and comfortable temperatures. With the backdrop of such a beautiful weather, we look forward to welcoming you!

Sincerely,
Satyam Suwas (Chair)
Praveen Kumar (Co-Chair)
