This program aims to review the exciting new developments in our knowledge of the nucleon-nucleon (N-N) interaction and its applications to the nuclear many-body system. Nuclear Physics is undergoing a renaissance with the advent of new theoretical methods and several new experimental facilities.This program is an effort to provide a common platform to the leading experts in the world for in-depth discussions and exchange of ideas.The primary topics of discussion will be different approaches to understand the N-N interaction, few-body problems in nuclear physics, nuclear physics with polarized beams and targets, no-core shell model, nuclear physics of neutron stars and electron scattering and photo-absorption reactions.The first four days of the program will be devoted to introductory and pedagogical lectures for Ph.D students followed by more advanced lectures and discussions in the remaining days.

Molecular Simulations have become a very useful tool to analyze various phenomena in physical, chemical and biological systems. With the advent of better computational facilities, there has been a significant push towards a molecular level analysis. Many complex problems in condensed matter systems like protein folding are regularly investigated using molecular simulation techniques. This school aims to provide the conceptual foundations and working knowledge of molecular simulations. The participants will also be exposed to programming and other technical aspects of molecular simulation. In addition, applications ranging from materials to biology will be showcased. The ten day program will include lectures, tutorial and hands-on computer training sessions conducted by the experts in the field. The proposed school will help the young researchers and students go beyond the usual curriculum of molecular simulation and statistical mechanics practised in academic institutions.

Mechanical signalling has emerged as an important regulator of cell biology and physiology. Forces, flows and fluctuations can have remarkable influences on the properties of molecules, cells, tissues and organs. How living systems generate, sense and transduce mechanical stimuli, and what consequences these have for development and disease are questions that are intrinsically interdisciplinary and have captured the interests not just of biologists but also engineers, mathematicians and theoretical physicists.The school will bring together leading researchers engaged in understanding the active mechanical principles regulating an amazing diversity of biological systems over a variety of length scales using experimental and theoretical interdisciplinary approaches. The program will combine pedagogy and research with leisurely and detailed scientific interactions and serve to train advanced students, postdocs and faculty from India and abroad in this young and rapidly growing area at the...

This program combines a workshop and conference covering a broad range of modern and currently very active areas of the theory of finite groups, encompassing computational techniques as well as applications. In particular, general techniques for matrix and permutation groups, the classification of and computations with p-groups, an introduction to finite simple groups, and actions of finite groups on Riemann surfaces will be addressed.The program will have two parts:Workshop, September 01-09, 2010, consisting of some five series of four two-hour lectures each, aiming at introducing graduate students and young post-doctoral researchers to these fields. In particular, guided practical instructions to the use of the computer algebra system GAP will be included.Conference, September 10-12, 2010, leading to the frontiers of current research. Experts in the above fields will present new and recent research results. This is intended both to disseminate results and current problems across the ...
