Seminar on Applications of Analytical Techniques in Geosciences
Date: 3rd July 2004
Venue: Wadia Institute of Himalayan Geology
            33, Gen. Mahadeo Singh Road, Dehradun
 
Indian Society of Analytical Scientists(ISAS) - Delhi Chapter is functioning since 1992 to serve the cause of analytical sciences in this part of the country. The chapter organises National Symposia, Workshops, Lecture Series, Training Programmes, etc on regular basis for the benefit of scientists / technologists. In the light of the above charter, we are organising a one day seminar on Applications of Analytical Techniques in Geosciences.

Indian Society of Analytical Scientists-Delhi Chapter (ISAS-DC) with its head office at IOC R&D Centre, Faridabad is a multidisciplinary body whose major functions are to organize seminars on various topics covering role of analytical sciences in various discipline with particular relevance to academics and industry. The society provides a common platform for scientists to exchange ideas, keep themselves abreast of the latest developments in various fields, thus promoting growth of analytical sciences in the country.

The next seminar is being organized on the topic on “Applications of Analytical Techniques in Geosciences”. One of the major goals of Geosciences is to describe and understand the mother Earth. Geosciences comprising of geology, geophysics, geochemistry and geotechnology provide a source of knowledge on important issues like minerals, petroleum, exploration, environment etc. Measurements and analytical techniques are indispensable tools for scientific research and industrial development in geosciences. For example, rock analyses by analytical techniques provide information about prospects, reserves and potential of major mineral deposits and crude oils that are hidden under thick layers of rock debris. The present seminar on “Applications of Analytical Techniques in Geosciences” will address issues involved & cover applications of various analytical techniques in the characterization of rocks and related materials.
Technical Fest for School Children
Date: 24th July, 2004
Venue: Delhi Public School, R.K. Puram, New Delhi
 
We are pleased to inform you that the “Indian Society of Analytical Scientists-Delhi Chapter” (ISAS-DC), in association with Delhi Public School, R.K. Puram, is organizing a Technical Festival on 24th July, 2004 at Delhi Public School, R.K. Puram, New Delhi.

ISAS-DC is an established scientific forum with Indian Oil R&D Centre as its Headquarters. The society provides a common platform for Analytical Scientists to exchange ideas, keep themselves abreast of the latest developments in this field, thus promoting growth of analytical sciences in the country. The society also organizes technical festivals for school children in order to popularize sciences in the younger generation of our country.

The forthcoming “Technical Fest” will consist of various events like painting competition, Model making, Debate/ Elocution, power-point presentations etc. on the topics related to general sciences having contemporary importance. The participants are being invited from various schools of Delhi and Faridabad, nominated by the respective Principals.

I take pleasure in inviting your school to participate in the above Technical Festival by nominating students for various activities. The nominations may please be sent to the undersigned by post or e-mail (preferable) latest by 10th July, 2004. We shall be pleased to send you more details about the programme after receiving nominations.
