"The concern for man and his destiny must be the chief interest of all technical efforts. Never forget this among your equations and diagrams." - Albert Einstein

The place of science in society is not to unfold quietly at the sidelines but to become a part of society and it is equally imperative that society also engage with science.

It is not uncommon to see science losing its ultimate connection to society and its needs, and society failing to understand the objectives of science, however well intended the objectives may be. The lack of a common language and rapid progress in diverse, yet esoteric areas of research has contributed to the general public’s feeling of ambivalence about the role that science and technology plays in everyday life. But science cannot work in isolation, and advances in science and technology are not an objective in their own right.

We believe that opportunities must be created for scientists and the general public to exchange views in a two-way dialogue of mutual respect and trust. We hope that this conference provides a platform that encourages young students to work on solutions to problems that have a direct impact on the common man. We encourage the general public to take an active interest in the enterprises of the scientist and discover the many albeit meandering ways in which scientific research is capable of making a difference to society.

We invite you to be a part of this conference where we endeavor to bridge the gap between science and society.
