AISSQ 2015 - 9th All India Students Conference on Science and Spiritual Quest-2015

Science and Spirituality are the two dominant forces involving deep intellectual, philosophical and psychological approaches for the well-being of mankind. However, modern education with an over emphasized importance and advocacy towards the cultivation of science and technology without a spiritual dimension has caused an imbalance in the self, the society, the nation and the world. Hence, there appears a need to increase the awareness towards the synthesis of science and spirituality to broaden intellectual perspectives, and thereby harmonize the society.
The 9th All India Students' Conference on Science and Spiritual Quest (AISSQ-2015) to be held at Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, West Bengal, India from 30 October to 1 November, 2015 aims at bringing together a number of leading experts from all over the world on a common platform to present and outline their vision for the benefit of the humanity in search for deeper questions of the life and cosmos.
More than 1000 leading social, scientific and spiritual thinkers and students from leading academic and R&D institutions from India and abroad will participate in the conference. Plenary and keynote lectures covering major areas of science and spirituality will be delivered by eminent speakers. Also, students' participation will be through Posters and an Essay Competition.
