The conference will cover the recent developments of the activation analysis technique using neutrons (conventional and k0-based NAA and PGNAA and FNAA), charged particles (CPAA) and photons (PAA), and Thin Layer Activation Analysis (TLA).Scope includes applications of activation analysis to various fields like biology, geology, material science, (bio)medical sciences, nanosciences, energy sciences, food and nutrition, forensic sciences, environmental sciences and reference materials. Focus will be given on topics like modernization and improvement of activation analysis techniques, gamma-ray spectrometry, detectors and instrumentation, facilities like research reactors and accelerators, and QA/QC in measurements. Special attention will be given to chemistry and applications of radioisotopes (activation products) obtained from reactors and accelerators for health care, industry, agriculture and research. Scope also includes other radioanalytical techniques like XRF, ion beam analysis (PIXE/PIGE/NRA) and solid state nuclear track detector (SSNTD). Technical programs in the conference will also provide a platform for the young researchers as well as PhD students to interact with scientists from abroad and India engaged in research in the areas of activation analysis.This conference will bring together a panel of highly-accomplished experts and the presentations will encompass basic studies and applications as well as address topics of novel methods. During the conference period, discussions will focus on the recent advances, difficulties, and breakthroughs in the field of Activation Analysis. The conference will feature a plenary/keynote talks, invited talks/oral presentations and poster presenttaions in various technical sessions.

It is thefinancial capital of India and houses Indian film industry. Mumbai city is well connected to the rest of the worldby many international airlines and other parts of India by international as well as domestic airlines. Foreign Participants travelling by air will arrive at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaja International Airport (BOM, Terminal 2/T2); some may also arrive at the domestic airport Santacruz. People coming to Mumbai by train can alight at Mumbai CST, Dadar, Kurla, Mumbai Central, Bandra or Panvel Terminus. The venue of the Symposium is the DAE Convention Centre, Anushaktinagar, Mumbai-400094. Anushaktinagar is located in the north-east part of Mumbai. This is a residential colony for the staff members of DAE organizations including BARC and is surrounded by beautiful hills and gardens. Railway stations are within 10-20 km from the Venue. Anushaktinagar is less than 25 kms from the Domestic and international (Terminal 2) airports. Prepaid and App based taxies (Ola, Uber, Meru, Cool Cab, pre-paid taxi) are available at the airports and atmost railway stations. Those travelling by local trains should alight at Mankhurd Station (East) on the harbor line, which is ~2 kms from the venue(Anushaktinagar). Many buses run by Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) come to the Anushaktinagar Bus Depot, near to & next to Chembur/Deonar. The climate of Mumbai hot during summer and pleasant during winter. November to February is pleasant with temperature generally ranging between18° and 25°C.
