IISER Bhopal organising Understanding SCIENCE a Summer Camp For High School Students | A Scientific Experience Opportunity

Indian Institute of Science Education and Research Bhopal
"Understanding SCIENCE" - Summer camp for high school students

Science has become an important and permanent part of our daily lives. It not only gives us the platform to ask the "what, how and why" of nature but also has become an indispensible tool to ensure development of society and even sustenance of life. It is therefore of utmost importance to educate the people about all the recent developments in science and technology. IISER Bhopal, a premier educational Institute in the country, actively engaged in quality research and teaching believes in creating such an awareness. Aimed at students who have just cleared their class IX and XI examinations, IISER Bhopal invites applications from students interested in attending a short summer camp (16th – 21st May, 2011) at its premises. The summer camp will consist of interactive lectures, along with an exposure to laboratory work  guided by IISER faculty members.

IISER Pune Lecture Series at Your Institute | Interaction with the Faculty

One of the aims of IISER-Pune is to interact with other institutes and share the joy of doing science with students at all levels. With this aim in view, we are planning to organize one-day lecture series at various reputed institutes all over India. A typical one-day series would consist of three-four one hour talks by IISER-P faculties, along with lots of free time for the faculties to interact with the students (see below for details). This way, we aim to motivate young students in schools and colleges and also present latest research findings to Masters students planning to take up research as a career in India.

We propose to organize three types of lecture series:

Joy of Science Series
Aimed at students in Class XI, XII
These will be popular elementary talks by our faculties on exciting areas of science. The topics will be chosen in such a way that they are NOT part of the regular curriculum of the students
The aim is to make young students enthusiastic about science, and wherever possible, suggest them possible avenues for further reading, small projects etc

Conference on Mathematical Foundations of Quantum Mechanics at IISER Kolkata

Conference on Mathematical Foundations of Quantum Mechanics
at
Indian Institute for Science Education and Research (IISER), Kolkata
from
16 to 21 of December, 2010.

In the last seven decades, Quantum Theory has arguably been the single most fertile area of scientific enquiry which has generated a vast body of research in diverse areas of mathematics and physics. In mathematics, it has led to enormous developments in the fields of Analysis in Infinite-dimensional spaces, Operator Theory and Operator Algebras, Geometry and Probability, Harmonic Analysis and Number Theory, even Mathematical Logic, to name just a few. On the other hand all of modern physics is based on the fundamental ideas of quantum theory. Yet, in spite of its spectacular success and fertility, there are still conceptual and foundational issues which continue to challenge physicists and philosophers alike. These issues have become more relevant with the advent of Quantum Computing. In the proposed conference/workshop (to be held in the campus of the new institution IISER, Kolkata), a few theme lectures on some of these areas will be held. Of course, standalone talks on related topics are also going to be there. We envisage brain-storming exercises from practitioners in the field.
