International Conference on

Composites: Design, Processing, Manufacturing and Health Monitoring

from 20 June 2024 to 21 June 2024

About The Conference

Composite materials have large scale commercial applications in marine applications, aerospace, automotive, boating, defense, sporting goods, infrastructure, energy storage, biomedical etc. In the recent years, the development of new and improved composites has caused unlimited product development opportunities. This conference will provide a platform to young researchers to present their ideas and learn from the eminent scientists from the globe. The deliberations in conference will be in terms of oral as well as poster presentations. Besides this there will be keynote lectures by the leading experts in the field. Selected papers from the conference will be published in Scopus indexed Springer journal.

About IIT Mandi

About

Nestled in the Sivalik Range of the Himalayas, away from the bustle of the metropolis, IIT Mandi stands tall as a pillar of excellence combining the beautiful location of Kamand with its technological prowess creating an institution where brilliant creative people come together to learn, work and play. A few hours before the Himalayan resort Kullu in Himachal Pradesh, IIT Mandi has been established with the vision to be a leader in science and technology education, knowledge creation and innovation, in an India marching towards a just, inclusive and sustain- able society. IIT Mandi is a prominent institute among the eight new IITs started in 2008-2009 and is making strong strides to be among those which offer world class education. The main campus of IIT Mandi is situated at the forested hills of Kamand valley on the banks of the river Uhl, a tributary of river Beas. IIT Mandi is approximately 20 kilometer away from Mandi town. The usual travel route to Mandi is via Chandigarh from Delhi. The nearest airports to Mandi are Kullu (56 km), Dharamshalla (130 km) & Chandigarh (200 km).
