53rd Congress of ISTAM (2008)

Hello,

The 53rd Congress of the Indian Society of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (an International Meet) is slated to be held during last week of December 2008, in Hyderabad, India. The last date for sending in both the abstracts and the full-length papers is 30th September, 2008.

People from outside India are especially encouraged to participate. Hyderabad is well connected by flights. Usually, the ISTAM conferences are low on budget but high on enthusiasm. The ISTAM conferences typically cover a broad range of topics.

I am not a part of organizing committee or whatever. (For that matter, I am not even a member but I intend to become one this year.) Personally, this year, I do not intend to present any paper. However, I am definitely planning on attending the conference.

I would love it if prominent iMechanicians could participate---it would provide us with a rare opportunity to interact with you in person.

More details and posters are available from the ISTAM and conference Web sites:
