About RPA
Rajasthan Physics Association (RPA) is a unit of Physics Society to promote research and education in Physics. The society is registered under the act. XX of 1860.It was founded on December14, 2003 and functioning to improve the aptitude of the students of Rajasthan state towards Physics by conducting Physics Aptitude Test (PAT) every year and awards scholarships to the meritorious students. It also promotes research and development work by giving Rajasthan Raman Award every year. The association conducts short term programmes and conferences on various topics.

About the Organizing Institutions

The University of Rajasthan is the oldest institution of higher learning in Rajasthan (India).It has 37 P.G. teaching departments and 6 constituent colleges. The University of Rajasthan is an A plus NAAC accredited. The University of Rajasthan was established on January 8, 1947 as University of Rajaputana with the main objective of disseminating knowledge and catering to the needs of the students of Rajasthan state. In 1956, the University of Rajaputana was renamed as the University of Rajasthan.The University of Bikaner, Bikaner spread over 1,100 acres of land and came into existence in the year of 2003 with the main objectives to facilitate higher education and research in the northern part of Rajasthan. It has 125 affiliated colleges. The Engineering College, Bikaner is an autonomous institution of the Government of Rajasthan, spread over 200 acres of land and located at Karni Industrial Area, Bikaner. The Institution was established in the year 1999 and committed to provide quality education. It has six branches of Engineering at Under Graduate level viz. Computer Engineering, Electronics and Communication Engineering, Information Technology, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Electronics and Instrumentation Control.

About the Conference

This conference will provide an international platform to the scientists and academicians as well as to the young researchers to exchange their new ideas, explore emerging directions both in basic physics as well as on the applied aspects of the various areas of Condensed Matter Physics. It is also aimed to highlight their new technologies. The event will bring theorists and experimentalists on a common platform to inspire exciting and current aspects of Condensed Matter Physics as well as Material Science and to foster inter-disciplinary research in all areas including soft matter. This conference will also inspire the young generation of scientists.

Objectives of the Conference

(a)To provide an international platform to the theorists and experimentalists to exchange their new ideas. (b)To explore emerging directions both in basic Physics as well as applied aspects of various areas of Condensed Matter Physics. (c) To foster inter-disciplinary research. (d)To inspire young scientists towards exciting and current aspects of Condensed Matter Physics and Material Science.

Climate and access to Jaipur

The temperature in the last week of November remains 15 oC to 25 oC and woolens are essential. Jaipur is located 258 km. from Delhi, 232 km. from Agra, 350 km. from Gwalior and 405 km. from Udaipur. Jaipur is well connected with major parts of the
