WELCOME TO ICEFN & NWSWM โ 2025
This science consortium is dedicated to those scientists who motivated generations across the globe. Since the past decades, our devices are becoming smaller and compact in size and at the same time getting better in terms of performance, feature, energy and durability due to advances in the field of smart materials and nanotechnology. The Prof. Rajendra Singh, Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Centre (PRS-NSNT), Department of Chemistry, D.S.B Campus, Kumaun University, Nainital, Uttarakhand, India & RAMP Convergence Research Centre (NST), Korea Institute of science and technology (KIST) are jointly organising 3 rd International Conference on Energy, Functional Materials/Molecules and Nanotechnology (ICEFN) from 20th to 22th March 2025. The Conference intends to provide a platform for discussion among various pillars of science fraternity from across the globe. We believe this conference will unravel the never-ending mysteries of the exciting world of nanotechnology and will provide the opportunity to the large section of the science community to interact with distinguished scholars in these areas. Along with this conference we also conduct a national workshop on solid waste management (NWSWM). This workshop aims to improve the research skill of promising postgraduate and young Ph.D. scholars from the institutes, Universities, and colleges. The plenary, key notes and invited talks by eminent scientists would give insights to the current research scenario around the world that is providing beneficial to the society at large. Explore the beauty of Nainital, a serene Himalayan town known for its breathtaking landscapes and peaceful atmosphere. Nestled among mountains and cantered around the tranquil Naini Lake, itโs an ideal destination for reflection and inspiration. With its rich culture and natural beauty, Nainital offers the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable and rejuvenating conference experience.
