The website of the 98th Indian Science Congress 2011, to be held at the SRM University, Chennai, was formally launched on Tuesday.
The general president of the Indian Science Congress Association, K. C. Pandey, launched the website, in the presence of Vice-Chancellor P. Sathyanarayanan, directors and faculty members of the University.
The website (www.isc2011.in) will have details of the Congress. There would also be information on the plenary sessions that are being planned. The theme of the Indian Science Congress 2011 is “Quality Education and Excellence in Scientific Research in Indian Universities”.
The focus of the conference will be on ‘Challenge of water resources management in the new millennium,' ‘Genetic engineering and biotechnology: application and human welfare,' ‘Emerging trends in biomedical research and technology, Information technology for rural development,' ‘Nanotechnology: Perspectives and present prospects, Climate change and global warming,' ‘Climate change and food security and Renewable & Non-Conventional energy,' ‘Energy security,' and ‘Bio-fuels as energy'. Over 8,000 delegates from universities, institutions and national laboratories across the country and abroad including a few Nobel Laureates will be participating in the Congress, which will be held from January 3 to 7.

Congrats. IT is interesting to see that SRM University is determined to hold the Science Congress with due focus on immediately relevant topics; and that students and scholars have the opportunity of listening to Nobel Laureates. This conference will truly inspire a number of students to become really interested in developing scientific thinking and making some tangible contribution. For the benefit of people like me and others who cannot attend the congress it would be useful if the research papers are published in this website; and discussions permitted. Abstracts of papers to be presented may be made avialble on this site so that scholars could plan a visit. Kudos to the mind that conceived of such a Congress.
