Introduction

Nepal Chemical Society (NCS) in co-

operation with Department of Chemistry,

Birendra Multiple Campus, Chitwan,

Tribhuvan University is organizing an

International Chemical Congress (ICC-

2018) on Chemistry for Sustainable

Development, which is going to be held

on March 8-10, 2018 in Sauraha,

Chitwan, Nepal

(http://www.chitwannationalpark.gov.np/).

On behalf of Nepal Chemical Society I

would like to cordially invite you to

participate in the conference.

The conference is aimed at deliberating

on the role of chemistry for sustainable

development and provides a platform to

interact with scientists working in

chemistry and materials fields. This is

also an opportunity for our young

students and graduates to know about

the current research trends in the various

fields of chemistry and materials

research.

The NCS, established in 1979, is the only

national association of Nepalese

Chemists. At present the NCS has more

than 1500 members. The NCS is

dedicated to promote research and

education in Chemistry in Nepal, and

help establish a collaboration with

international universities and research

institutes.

The conference will be held in Sauraha,

Chitwan. Sauraha lies around 140km

south-west of Kathmandu and at an

elevation of around 650m. Chitwan

National park-a well known National park-

that harbors many rare floras and faunas

including one horned Rhinos, Bengal

tigers-is one of the main attractions of

Sauraha. Narayani river, Rapti river,

Bishajari tal are some of other attractions.

Boating in Narayani river, Hatti polo,

elephant riding within and around

Chitwan national park are some of the

recreational activities in/around Sauraha.

Sauraha will have pleasant weather in

March with temperature 15-25oC.

Convener: Prof. Dr. Amar Prasad Yadav

The ICC-2018 aims to capitalize on the rapidly growing field of chemistry and advanced

materials, bringing together the expertise from across the international and national academic

communities, as well as industry. The remarkable evolution of advanced materials has only been

possible because of close collaborations between chemists, materials and biological scientists

as well as industrialists. This conference aims to bring together such diverse specialists, and to

understand the requirements of chemistry and advanced materials research for sustainable

development in an emerging country like Nepal.

This conference covers a series of symposia, which have been selected to accommodate a wide

range of interests. The purpose of this meeting is to facilitate interdisciplinary interactions

between scientists engaged in the full spectrum of research, development, and applications, and

to discuss the current status and recent developments of advanced materials and technology for

the improvement of human lives. In addition, the conference will provide foreign scientists an

opportunity to enjoy the natural beauty and biodiversity of Nepal. We welcome you to visit

Nepal.

Conference Scope
