XVII National Seminar on Aerospace Structures (NASAS) Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur

The National Seminar on Aerospace Structures (NASAS), held periodically under the aegis of the Structures Panel of the Aeronautics Research & Development Board (AR&DB), has now gained prominence as a major forum for discussion on topics of importance in the field of aerospace structures. Over the years, this seminar has provided a platform to a large number of academicians, scientists, engineers, students and users to present their research work, exchange notes and share ideas for future growth of the field. The XVII NASAS is being held at the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur from 22 to 24 September, 2011.

Abstract Submission

The aim of the conference is to provide a platform to exchange scientific information on Aerospace Structures and related fields. Abstract of the papers should clearly state the purpose of study, principal results, and major conclusions.The abstract must be limited to 1000 words only and must follow the format provided.

Seminar on Micro Solar Energy Generation and Utilization 3rd & 4th September 2011 Jointly organized by IIT Kanpur and IETE Kanpur Centre

At IIT Kanpur, we have been making efforts to promote solar energy. We are working towards making the institute a Centre of Excellence in Photovoltaic Research and Education and establish Solar Energy Research Enclave to do meaningful research and development. We have been organizing national and international conferences, seminar, symposium and workshops to bring to focus different issues and challenges related to solar energy technologies. Two national (http://www.iitk.ac.in/photovoltaics/) and international (http://www.iitk.ac.in/ ispst/) conferences/ syposium were organized in 2008 and 2010 respectively to promote the cause of solar photovoltaic. The institute’s Solar Energy Research Initiative was inaugurated by Dr. Manmohan Singh, Hon’ble Prime Minister of India on 3 July 2010.
