The 108th Indian Science Congress (ISC) will be held on January 3 at Rashtrasant Tukadoji Maharaj Nagpur University (RTMNU) at its Amravati Road Campus in Maharashtra. It will be inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi via video conferencing at 10.30 am.
The theme of this year's ISC is “Science and Technology for Sustainable Development with Women Empowerment”. It will witness discussions on issues of sustainable development, women empowerment and the role of science and technology in achieving this. The participants are expected to discuss ways to increase the number of women in higher positions of teaching, research and industry, along with trying to find ways to provide women with equal access to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) education, research opportunities and economic participation.
A special programme will also be held to showcase the contribution of women in science and technology in which renowned women scientists are expected to address the audience.
The Indian Science Congress will also see Children’s Science Congress organised to help stimulate scientific interest and temperament among kids.
