The participants will get an opportunity to interact with the scientists from India and abroad on recent trends in material synthesis and characterization tools and techniques for Energy and Environment sectors specifically. The research areas are kept open for the scientific community to promote the interdisciplinary research and development in materials science and technology.CANDEE has planned a Poster session specifically for the young scholars/students with a cash award worth Rs. 25000. The original work in the following areas but not restricted to, will be recommended for this session, divided in four tracks.
