DESCRIPTION OF CONFERENCE & WINTER SCHOOL
The International Conference and Winter School on “Molecular Materials and Functions” are a series of events organized by IIT Madras. These events are part of the activities of the Centre of Excellence (CoE) on Molecular Materials and Functions, a cluster within the Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IITM), which is recognized as one of the premier academic institutes in India and designated as an ‘Institute of Eminence’ by the Government of India to promote excellence in higher education and research.
The indicated international conference is a biennial event, with the first edition held in December 2022 and the second edition was held during December 9-11, 2024. The primary objective of the conference is to provide a platform for discussing molecular materials and their associated functions, focusing on molecules as the fundamental building blocks rather than atoms. By exploring the chemical, physical, and mechanical properties of such materials, breakthrough results in the emergence of new properties in matter are anticipated, along with gaining fundamental insights into reactivity, catalysis, electrical transport, magnetism, and energy storage, in the foreseeable future.
The CoE Winter School on “Molecular Materials and Functions” is an annual event designed to benefit students and postdoctoral fellows by offering opportunities to learn from leading experts in cutting-edge research and to engage in informal networking with pioneers in the field. Many distinguished international and national speakers will deliver talks at the Winter School. The first edition of the Winter School was held from December 11–15, 2023, followed by the second edition from December 4–8, 2024. The third edition is scheduled to take place from December 1–5, 2025.
Organizing Institute
Key Sponsor
