The Symposium, in addition to Inaugural and Concluding ceremonies, will have 16 Technical Sessions on a number of themes of the Symposium, including Light Detection & Harvesting; Light Emitting Devices; Light-Matter Interactions; Light-Based Technologies; Photochemistry & Photobiology; Optoelectronics & Photonics; Imaging Science; and Quantum Informatics. A poster session is also part of the technical programme.
A large number of scientists, technologists, university professors and students from foreign as well as local S&T organisations and universities will be participating in the symposium. Another highlight of the event is a half-day pre-symposium Workshop on Technology of Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs), being organized on 13th October mainly for students and young professionals.
