NIT Srinagar is committed to promoting interdisciplinary research and providing a platform where scientific ideas can translate into meaningful technological applications,” Prof Misra said.
The conference coincides with the birth anniversary of renowned British chemist and physicist John Dalton, whose pioneering contribution to atomic theory played a significant role in the development of modern chemistry and physics.
Prof M. A. Shah, General Chair of NBL-2027, said the conference would focus on strengthening the interface between scientific research, engineering and industry.
“Nanotechnology has become an important driver of innovation across science and engineering. NBL-2027 will provide researchers and industry professionals an opportunity to present recent findings, discuss practical challenges and explore collaborations for developing applications with wider societal relevance,” Prof Shah said.
The conference will provide an interdisciplinary forum for participants to present and discuss recent innovations, research findings and practical challenges in nanotechnology and emerging technologies.
Prof Kowsar Majid, Programme Chair of NBL-2027, said special emphasis would be laid on encouraging young researchers and students to participate in the conference.
“Along with plenary and keynote sessions, NBL-2027 will provide dedicated opportunities for students and young researchers through tutorials, oral presentations and poster sessions. Our objective is to facilitate meaningful scientific interaction and expose emerging researchers to the latest work being carried out globally,” Prof Majid said.
The conference will be coordinated by 11 scientists from different institutions. Prof Kowsar Majid will serve as the Programme Chair, while Dr Aamir Ahsan and Dr Anshul Gupta will serve as Organising Chairs.
Dr H S Pali and Dr Vijay Kumar Singh of IIT Ropar will be the Finance Chairs. Dr Tariq Sofi of SKUAST-Kashmir and Dr Janani L will serve as Protocol and Hospitality Chairs.
