About the Conference

Time away from the laboratory/university/institute is a significant factor for both academic and industrial scientists. Presentation of a lecture or poster at a conference – an activity that takes at most a few hours – typically involves several days away from work, in addition to costs associated with travel, lodging, meals and meeting registration.

Yuktan Technologies organizers are planning to offer some great content and evidence based information that helps scientists, researchers, engineers and other allied experts from academic institutions, government agencies, societies, non-profit organizations and the industry through this online conference.

This Virtual Conference provides the best platform for participants who would otherwise be unable to participate in events of this standard owing to:

  • (1) limited travel grants
  • (2) lack of time to travel to distant conference locations
  • (3) insufficient accommodation and subsistence funds.
