http://www.ipr.res.in/NSC24/NSC-24-1st-announcement.pdf

Pre-symposium Course: 27th November, 2012
Symposium: 28-30 November, 2012


Host Organization:
INSTITUTE FOR PLASMA RESEARCH

OVERVIEW:
The National Symposium on Cryogenics (NSC) is a SOCIO-ACADEMIC event organized by the Indian Cryogenics Council, which provides a common platform for all academicians/professionals/industrial partners & organizations for sharing knowledge, products & services in the area of cryogenics and superconductivity in India. The twenty fourth National Symposium on Cryogenics, NSC-24 is being hosted by Institute for Plasma Research, Gandhinagar, one of the premier R&D organization of Department of Atomic Energy in the area of nuclear fusion in India. The symposium will be held on November 28-30, 2012 (Wednesday-Friday). The symposium will be preceded by a pre-symposium short term courses. The researchers, academicians, technologists, industrial houses, students involved in the R & D of the subject matters in India and around the world are invited to actively participate in the symposium and make this event a grand success.

Key word for the symposium is CRYOGENICS FOR MANKIND.

About the Host Institution:
Institute for Plasma Research (IPR) is involved in research in various aspects of plasma science and technology, including basic plasma physics, magnetically confined hot plasmas and industrial applications, with main focus on research related to thermonuclear fusion. IPR is the nodal agency for managing the in-kind contribution from India to the ITER Project, which is a major step towards realizing nuclear fusion for the mankind. IPR is involved in the areas of superconductivity & cryogenics with expertise developed over a decade. ITER-India is responsible for design, construction and final cold acceptance test of the system of Cryolines & Cryo-distribution and the largest vacuum chamber, which is the ITER Cryostat
in the present context. DEMO reactor activities have been initiated with a series of proto typing in superconducting magnet, cryogenic pump technologies and other related areas.
