To join the stream of Functional Materials in terms of synthesis, structure and stimuli-responsive specific functions and engineering is to be at the forefront of Inquiry and
Invention. While realizing and implementing this important task of education and research, this conference is a genuine venture to bring the experts in these areas and to expose the students ( a selective audience) to concepts, hands-on experience of seasoned minds and to the facts and figures of cutting edge research, clearly the legacy of the graceful horde of invited speakers. Needless to mention that the inter-scientist interaction among the diverse faculty will add objectivity in cross-disciplinary work.
