Background

The Asian Microgravity Symposium (AMS) originally established in 1993 has over the years gained popularity amongst researchers and technologists in academia and industry as a platform to share the latest developments in the microgravity science and technology. After 13 successful symposia with 6 in China, 5 in Japan and 2 in South Korea, the 14th edition of AMS will be held in India for the first-time during 1-6 December of 2024 under the aegis of the Indian Micro-gravity society, ISOSU (Indian Society of Outer Space Utilization) and IIT Madras. Researchers and Technologists from Asian countries and the rest of the world are expected to participate in this biannual event.

Symposium Scope:

The focus of AMS2024 will be on (but not limited to) following topics

Combustion (including fire safety) and Chemical Physics
Heart and Fluid Physics
Material Sciences
Thermophysical Properties
Levitation (Electrostatic, Acoustic etc.)
Crystal Growth and Soft Matters (Protein & Colloid)
