The Royal Society of Chemistry will present awards for:
Don't miss the opportunity to showcase your talent!
This conference brings together leading researchers, scientists and industry experts to explore cutting-edge developments at the intersection of organic chemistry and materials science. It aims to showcase the latest research breakthroughs in organic synthesis, materials characterization, and interdisciplinary applications while fostering collaboration between academic institutions, research laboratories, and industry partners.
It provides a platform for young researchers and students to present their work and interact with established scientists. The conference will identify emerging trends and future directions in organic and materials chemistry, and catalyze translational research initiatives that bridge fundamental science with practical applications.
CSIR-NIIST’s remarkable journey began in 1975 with a visionary request from Sri. C Achutha Menon, then Chief Minister of Kerala, recognizing the need for a research institution to harness regional resources and address local industrial challenges.
Officially established as the Regional Research Laboratory, Thiruvananthapuram on October 6, 1978, the institute initially focused on cast metal matrix composites, plantation-based materials, and Kerala's mineral resources.
A significant expansion occurred under Dr. AD. Damodaran's leadership, establishing internationally recognized research in Photochemistry, Organic Chemistry, Process Engineering, and Environmental Technologies. This growth led to the institute's renaming in March 2007 as the "National Institute for Interdisciplinary Science and Technology," reflecting its evolution into a center for cutting-edge research.
Today, under Dr. C. Anandharamakrishnan's directorship, CSIR-NIIST operates through six distinct divisions, enabling a truly interdisciplinary approach to research. Our contributions have consistently earned high rankings for research quality and quantity. As we celebrate our Golden Jubilee, we remain committed to balancing fundamental science with industry-relevant technology development, strengthening partnerships, and aligning with India's vision for scientific advancement.
