The camp aims to discuss challenging mathematical problems at the pre-olympiad and olympiad level and thereby expose the teachers to mathematical problem solving beyond the school curriculum. The International Mathematical Olympiad is a movement for school students. The national Olympiad programmes globally have aimed at not just the international event, but also as national channels to enrich school educational curriculum. Even beyond the scope of the examinations, Olympiad problems provide intellectual stimulus and uncommon opportunities for teaching and learning of Mathematics. Selected participants will be reimbursed to and fro travel fares as per their entitlement (maximum II-AC train fare). Food and accommodation in the ICTS Guest House will be provided to all participants.  ICTS is committed to building an environment that is inclusive, non-discriminatory, and welcoming of diverse individuals. We especially encourage the participation of women and other under-represented groups....

Indian scientists have made substantial contributions to different branches of Astronomy & Astrophysics. India hosts a few world-class observatory facilities and has recently invested in several upcoming international mega-science projects in astronomy. The community has reached a stage (in terms of strength and impact), where it is important to formulate a consensus about the most compelling scientific questions for the next decade.The Astronomical Society of India (ASI) is an Indian society of professional astronomers. ASI is planning to bring out a Vision Document that will lay out the collective vision of the Indian astronomy community for the next decade or two.  This effort is analogous to the Decadal Surveys in the USA. This Discussion Meeting is planned as a brainstorming workshop to aid the preparation of the Vision Document. This meeting will strive to cover a large breadth of topics including Solar physics, Planetary science and exoplanets, Gravity & fundamental physics, Sta...

'Fluctuation-and-noise' are themes that are common in the study of living systems, starting from molecular and cellular levels to higher levels of biological organization. Interestingly, instead of suppressing or filtering out the noise, a cell often exploits it to drive many of its intracellular and extracellular processes. Some of these noise-exploiting processes are essential for the survival of the cell, while some others occur in anticipation, essentially to enable the cell to overcome adverse conditions in future. Not surprisingly, concepts and techniques of statistical physics, particularly those drawn from stochastic thermodynamics, kinetics, non-equilibrium statistical mechanics and nonlinear dynamics, have been used very effectively in recent decades, to unveil many mysteries of stochastic processes that are associated with 'life'.The ICTS program 'Statistical Biological Physics: From Single Molecule to Cell' intends to bring statistical physicists, molecular cell biologists,...
