National photonics Symposium

NPS-2020

27-29th February 2020

About NPS

Photonics deals with the Science and Technology of generation, manipulation anddetection of photons. International School of Photonics, established in 1995, has been conducting Annual Photonics Workshop, a national event which brings together leading scientists, academicians, industrialists and young researchers in the country for active discussions and fruitful interactions on various aspects of Photonics, for last several years. This annual event was conducted in the form of National Photonics Symposium (NPS) from 2017 onwards. The aim of NPS is to enlighten the budding scientists to find newer directions for research through active discussions and collaborative research. We hope to provide the best platform for all participants to exchange the latest and advanced research with other specialists and scholars in the field by bring in the best scientists in India to deliver invited lectures and plenary talks apart from contributed papers. On 28th February, there will be a special session to celebrate National Science Day.
