About MTIC Symposium Series
The Symposium on "Medern Trends in Inorganic Chemistry" (MTIC) had the origin in 1985 in the Indian Association for Cultivation of Science, Calcutta as part of the Golden Jubilee
Celebrations of
Indian National Science Academy, New Delhi. It was conceived as a forum for the inorganic chemistry fraternity of the country to meet every two years to focus on the current status and future
projections of research in various frontier areas of Inorganic Chemistry both at the national and international levels. Following the meeting in Calcutta, the subsequesnt meetings were held in
different institutions in India (please refer to the Table below). The present meeting, to be held at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, is the thirteenth in the series (MTIC-XIII) that
is jointly hosted by IISc and the
Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR).
The organization of the meeting is essentially directed towards projecting outstanding and significant research carried out in Inorganic Chemistry by scientists in India and abroad with special
emphasis to encourage young active researchers. Towards this end, apart from oral presentations, a very important segment of MTIC is its rich and extensive poster presentation program which
serves as a medium for communicating fresh results and provides ample opportunities to interact with the authors. The topics covered in this symposium span a wide range in the field of Inorganic
Chemistry including some emerging interdisciplinary areas like inorganic materials, bioinorganic chemistry and organometallics in catalysis.
