As IIT Kharagpur celebrates its Platinum Jubilee, we stand at a pivotal moment in engineering history. The global imperative to achieve carbon neutrality and resource resilience has transformed the landscape of research. At the heart of this transformation lies the synergy between Advanced Materials and Manufacturing and Energy and Sustainability. This theme represents a holistic approach to the industrial challenges of the 21st century. Such an approach is the highlight of this conference to be delivered into three parallel tracks - Track A: Renewable Energy Generation and Storage, Track B: Advanced Materials and Manufacturing, and Track C: Water-Food-Energy-Environment Nexus: Its Impact and Applications.
