About Event

Solid State Ionics continues to be a rapidly developing research area. Conventionally, the field dealt with fast ion transport in solids. More recently, scope of the field has increased quite significantly. Researchers in the field of solid state ionics are now working on increasing number of systems where the predominant ionic conductivity has values comparable to liquid electrolytes. The ionic conductivity has also been found to have same order of magnitude as the electronic conductivity in semiconductors. This has brought in front of us a huge basket of opportunities for developing new technologies. The application of such materials range from environmental protection, energy conversion and storage, biofuel cells, process control, memristors, nano-electronics, polymers, etc. These niche areas of application have the capability of having major impact on present and future technologies.

How to reach IIT Kharagpur

Kharagpur is known the world over for two landmarks. One, the longest railway platform, and the other,the first Indian Institute of Technology. Situated about 145 km west of Kolkata, Kharagpur can be reached in about 2 hours 30 minutes by train from Howrah railway station of Kolkata or 2 hours 30 minutes by car from Kolkata Airport. Kharagpur is also connected by direct train services to most major cities of the country. The Institute is about 10 minutes drive (5 km) from the Kharagpur railway station. Private taxi, autorickshaw or cycle-rickshaw can be hired to reach the Institute. Taxi charge from Kharagpur Railway station to IIT campus : Approx Rs.120 Cycle rickshaw from Kharagpur Railway station to IIT campus : Approx Rs.60 Taxi charge from Kolkata airport to IIT campus: Approx Rs.2500 Accommodations for all participants will be arranged on payments basis at various guest houses and hostels. Student Accommodation ₹100-150 Ashutosh Mukherjee Hall (AMH) ₹400-800 Visveswaraya Guest House ( VGH ) ₹400-800 Technology New Guest House (TGH ) ₹800-1200
