The program is of very high quality. An eminent array of speakers will lecture on topics in particle physics, quantum optics and quantum mechanics, general relativity, statistics, condensed matter physics, chemistry. Scope: This meeting is an important international event that has attracted scientists from diverse disciplines from all parts of the world. A large contingent of scientists from Europe, Japan and the developing countries will be present, plus leading Indian physicists, science policy makers and students. Considering the international standing of the invited speakers, this is an exceptional opportunity for the exchange of ideas on topics of current interest. The event will be beneficial for Indian and non-Indian participants. ***
