The Department of Allied Sciences (Physics) at Graphic Era (Deemed to be University), Dehradun, is dedicated to advancing scientific curiosity, technological innovation, and academic excellence. Committed to strengthening both fundamental and applied physics, the department has evolved into a scientific centre of advanced research, interdisciplinary engagement, and high-quality education. Its curriculum integrates rigorous conceptual foundations with practical, laboratory based skills, preparing students to address contemporary scientific and industrial challenges. Consistently aligned with global developments in the physical sciences, the programs are regularly updated to incorporate emerging trends, methodologies, and technologies.
CSIR-National Physical Laboratory (CSIR-NPL), a constitute of the “Council of Scientific & Industrial Research” (CSIR) under the Ministry of Science and Technology, Government of India, is the custodian of national standards (“National Metrology Institute” (NMI) of India) and has the mandate to realize, establish, up-grade, maintain and disseminate the measurement standards of physical quantities to the needs of the country.
The Vision and Mission of CSIR-NPL is “Accurate and precise measurement is essential to drive the growth engines of Indian Science & Industry as it removes chaos and prompts innovations, which in turn, would save precious lives, resources and time. Developing India’s measurement standards that are internationally accepted and disseminating the measurement capabilities to industry, government, strategic and academia that underpin India’s prosperity and quality of life. Conducting multidisciplinary R&D with a mission to establish the futuristic quantum standards and upcoming technologies so that India remains on par with international measurement laboratories. Developing sophisticated analytical equipment (i.e. import substitutes) under the “Make in India” program to cater the ever-increasing demands of emerging India. Training of young scientists and industry personnel in the area of measurements under the “Skill India” program. Furthermore, CSIR-NPL is also involved in applied as well as fundamental research, covering the diverse spectrum of metrology such as quantum metrology, nanometrology, digital metrology, materials metrology, certified reference materials, BNDs and metrology for the green energy technologies such as photovoltaic metrology, hydrogen energy, and environmental metrology and so on to be at par with the international advancements in the field. In addition, the institute has very vibrant research activities on the development of advanced materials and devices, covering materials development for strategic, health, energy, societal and environmental applications. State-of-the-art clean rooms complex for photovoltaic materials and devices development is a unique infrastructure on the campus, in addition to several other high-end facilities.
The International Conference on Hybrid materials: Foundation to Frontiers (ICHM-2026) is envisioned as a global meeting point for researchers, innovators, academicians, and industry leaders to explore the expanding role of physics in shaping the modern world. The conference aims to advance dialogue and collaboration in areas central to national and global priorities, including Sustainable Development, Green Technologies, and Advanced Materials.
This conference links the thematic areas of physics. With carefully designed thematic tracks, the event aims to spark discussions that combine fundamental understanding with real-world applications. The Solar Energy track will showcase breakthroughs in renewable technologies that can power a sustainable future, while Supercapacitors and Batteries will highlight next-generation energy storage systems that are redefining mobility, electronics, and smart grids. In Nuclear and Particle Physics, participants will journey into the deepest mysteries of the materials, uncovering insights that not only expand human knowledge but also enable innovative applications in medicine, energy, and industry. The focus on Green Technologies and Materials emphasises the urgent need for eco-friendly solutions, creating opportunities for clean manufacturing and environmental sustainability. With Materials for Sustainable Development, the spotlight will be on the design and deployment of advanced materials critical for meeting global sustainability challenges. The track on LASER interaction with matter, and Radiation Technologies aims to highlight the transformative impact of photonics, lasers, and radiation across fields ranging from communications and medicine to space exploration. In the rapidly advancing world of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, the conference will highlight nanoscale innovations that are revolutionizing electronics, energy systems, and biomedical devices. The theme of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) for Materials will highlight data-driven approaches that are accelerating discoveries, enabling complex simulations, and transforming research methodologies. By bringing together these rich themes under one roof, the conference promises an intellectually stimulating and socially engaging experience that will encourage collaboration, spark innovation, and inspire future generations of scientists. Delegates will not only gain exposure to ground breaking research but also network with global experts, discover cross-disciplinary opportunities, and contribute to shaping a more sustainable and technologically advanced future.
This conference invites you to participate in a meaningful exchange of ideas that promotes interdisciplinary collaboration and emphasizes the role of physics in addressing critical global challenges.
