Paper Presentation Instructions

It gives us pleasure in inviting you to the Symposium on Applications of Thermal Analysis and Calorimetry (SATAC-2021) which is being organised in hybrid mode (virtual/physical- in view of the pandemic) in the University Department of Chemistry, Magadh University, Bodh Gaya-824234 (India) during December 21-22, 2021.

It will be an excellent opportunity for the researchers, academicians and students interested in any branch of Thermal Analysis to discuss applications and results of their latest research works. Lectures will be organised and papers shall be presented. Limited participation in physical mode will also be there. The first such SATAC was held in India at Panjab University, Chandigarh in December 2010 and the Indian Council of Chemists (ICC) had taken the lead by organizing "SATAC-2010".  A special Volume was also brought out (Vol 107, No 1, January 2012) by Journal of Thermal Analysis and Calorimetry to commemorate the event. Similarly, a special issue was brought out commemorating SATAC 2011. Sessions on interfaces with other branches of Chemical Sciences will also be held.

Confirmed Speakers include Prof. Crisan Popescu (Romania), Prof Egon Schnitzler (Brazil), Prof. Jiri Malek   (Czech Republic), Prof. Peter Simon (Slovakia), Dr. Imre Sziliagyi (Hungary), Prof A.K. Tyagi (BARC, India), Dr Ratikant Mishra (India), Prof T Pal (India), Prof N B Singh (India), & Prof Arvind Saxena (India).

Venue

The venue is the University Department of Chemistry, Magadh University, Bodh Gaya-824234 (India). It is a flagship department of Magadh University (www.magadhuniversity.ac.in) which is the largest university in the eastern state of Bihar in India.  Beyond the 34 Departments and Centers situated in the sprawling campus of the University at Bodh Gaya –the place where Lord Buddha got enlightenment over 2500 years ago, the University administers 19 constituent and 39 affiliated colleges, 1 Engineering college, 2 Law colleges and 2 Dental colleges which are spread over the Gaya, Nawada, Jehanabad, Arwal and Aurangabad districts of the state. Bodh Gaya is well connected and the university is situated on NH 83 which connects Patna, Gaya to NH-2 (Delhi-Kolkata Highway). Nearest airport is Gaya (6 km) and the nearest Railway Station is Gaya Jn which is well connected to Howrah/Kolkata (5-7hrs), Patna (2-3 hrs), Delhi (11-17 km), Mumbai, Chennai, Goa, Pune, Bhubaneshwar, Ranchi, Jammu, Dehradun, Shimla etc.

                                                             Deptt

The Department got the tag of "DST-FIST Sponsored" from the Department of Science and Technology, Govt of India in 2009 and it had also acquired the privilege of "UGC-BSR Supported". Earlier it was recognized as a leading centre under the Faculty Improvement Programme of the University Grants Commission (UGC) in 1977. The Department hosted the 27th Annual Convention of Chemists and the annual conference of the Indian Chemical Society during 26-30 December 1990 under the Chairmanship of Professor B. P. Verma. Concurrent sessions were held in seven Sections. Renowned scientist working in the field of Thermal Analysis, Prof Ranjit K Verma formed a small group of thermal analysts here after joining the Dept in 1983. The group marked its presence worldwide and Dr Ranjit Verma who became Professor in 1993, became the Secretary of ICTAC (International Confederation for Thermal Analysis and Calorimetry) in 2012. Presently he is Vice Chairman of the Scientific Commission of ICTAC (www.ictac.org). He is also on the Editorial Board of the Journal of Thermal Analysis and Calorimetry [published by Springer, Thomson Reuters Impact Factor 4.626(2020)] the oldest and leading research journal in the field.  Regional Branch of Indian Chemical Society was opened in the Department in 1990 and the Magadh Chapter of Indian Science Congress was started in 1997. Prof Verma is going to superannuate on 31st December this year.

  To maintain pace with the current growing field of the Chemistry, the Department frequently organizes seminars, conference and colloquium in the frontier areas of Chemistry. Eminent scientists and educationists from India and abroad have been visiting the Department and have delivered lectures and attended seminars, workshops etc. Apart from many completed projects from the Department, ongoing project is sponsored by Department of Science and Technology, SERB, New Delhi.
