About the Symposium
Electrochemistry, a truly interdisciplinary field of science plays a vital role in areas such as Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Physics,
Materials Science, Metallurgy and Electrical & Electronics Engineering. Emerging areas such as Nanotechnology and Biotechnology also
require vital inputs from Electrochemistry. In order to take stock of the recent developments, the Society for Advancement of
Electrochemical Science and Technology (SAEST), Karaikudi in collaboration with CSIR-Central Electrochemical Research Institute
(CECRI), Karaikudi is organizing the 12th International Symposium on Advances in Electrochemical Science and Technology (iSAEST-12)
by involving researchers from all over the world to meet and exchange their knowledge and research experience.
The technical programme will mainly feature on Plenary Lectures and Invited Talks by eminent experts, Technical papers in Oral and
Poster sessions and a commercial exhibition. Sessions dedicated to hot core and areas of emerging interest are included to invite attention
from students, research scholars, scientists, academicians and industries.
