Annual Faculty Meeting and In-House Symposium 2022
Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR) has had
a long tradition of celebrating the science carried out in the Centre by
organizing an Annual Faculty Meeting (AFM) and In-House Symposium
(IHS). The AFM & IHS this year will be held on the
17th–18th of November 2022. The
program
comprises talks by faculty members and students, as well as poster teasers
and poster presentations by students, postdocs, and R&D assistants.
This year, the International Centre for Materials Science will be organizing
the event.
JNC Research Conference on Chemistry of Materials
The JNC Research Conferences on Chemistry of Materials, organized annually at
Kerala under the initiative of Professor C. N. R. Rao, FRS, are meant to provide
a forum for the presentation and discussion of frontier research in Chemical
Sciences. Particular attention is given to supporting and encouraging young
scientists as they establish themselves in their chosen fields. The JNC
Research Conferences are supported by Sheikh Saqr Laboratory (SSL) and organized
by the School of Advanced Materials (SAMat), JNCASR, and the Indian Institute of
Science Education and Research Thiruvananthapuram (IISER-TVM).
Chemical Frontiers
The Chemical Frontiers meeting, organized annually at Goa by IIT Bombay and
JNCASR, was conceptualized by Professor C. N. R. Rao, FRS, to bring young
chemistry researchers in India together with senior established chemists
in a scenic location to discuss quality science. The idea took shape
and the first of the series of meetings took place during the monsoon of 2009
(August 14–16) at Goa, and the meetings have been held in Goa ever since.
The participants of the meeting are young Ph.D. students and post-doctoral
fellows who showcase their research in the form of posters or short oral
presentations from several IITs, IISERs, national labs, and universities.
JNCASR–FCBS Workshop
The JNCASR–FCBS workshop is conducted annually for school and college
chemistry students and teachers. The Foundation for Capacity Building in
Science (FCBS) of the CSIR–NIIST organizes the workshop in collaboration with
JNCASR, wherein speakers from premier scientific institutions of the country
deliver talks and interact with school and college chemistry students and
teachers. The workshop aims to evoke interest and encourage participants to
delve deeper into the world of Science.
