I think it’s a very good idea to organize events om cruise ships. Keeping people together and putting them all in a pleasant atmosphere will create high networking opportunities. Science comes out from discussions, it will not come from papers or telephone calls

Advanced Materials Laureate is considered one of the highest honors for a researcher working in a diverse background, either from physical, chemical, biological, engineering, mathematical and medical sciences along with their substantial contribution towards research perspective, expanding education, promoting materials research and its applications at a global standard, mentoring professionals and series of advancements on the related topics. We are very happy to award Professor Gleiter for Laureate of 2019.

Advanced materials are new, intelligent, and smart materials for new age technology. The goal for IAAM is to bring scientists and researchers from all sorts of areas together and form a highly interactive community. We are creating an environment of learning that will hopefully birth new ideas that will benefit many of society’s big issues

In my research I found that the healthcare sector is one of the building blocks of a nation. Coming from a rural area in India, I got exposed very early in my life to the struggles that people face to access safe healthcare. Since then, I have been working extensively and making strides towards changing the face of the healthcare industry. While chairing a conference in 2014, a discussion lead to an idea of establishing virtual healthcare infrastructure. I established the VBRI with an aim to carry out translational research in the field of healthcare and several others. VBRI recently launched mHospitals, that gives patients access to professional healthcare services whenever needed. mHospitals uses AI, ML and other technologies to create virtual healthcare systems and remove barriers like distance and language

Our discovery has to be confirmed, but if it is the lost submarine from World war I, we can tell the German navy that we have found the tomb of some of the people that died for their country one hundred years ago. If they wish to come here and have a ceremony, they will have our support

It’s very positive that our congresses serve as a science hub where different fields of research meet and learn from each other. We will see more collaborations between different fields of research in the future

It was a very nice experience to attend. The congress is well organized and unique in its format. By putting different disciplines in a single platform you encourage the prospects to learn new things related to their fields. I will definitely recommend this conference.

I was surprised to see the diversity of the conference

Diversity is important to us. This time we invited several distinguished researchers in fields such as advanced composites for biomedical applications, metamaterials, graphene, biosensors and bioelectronic materials and nanocomposites for industrial applications. Our aim is to get researchers and innovative people from all over the world to gather at the same place. IAAM is working to reduce the gap between science and industry, so that more innovations lead to development of products that benefits society

The purpose of the congress was to bring academia and business closer together in order to build joint infrastructures for grants applications, commercial IPRs, high-quality publications and more. With our congress series we provide a global platform for all this to happen.

Viking Line is proud that IAAM from five years has chosen us for their international scientific congresses, Knowledge Experience at Sea. Through the years about 5000 researchers and students from over 100 countries has participated, and we think it’s fantastic to be a part of advancement of materials for global excellence. The fact that IAAM place their conferences on our ships also shows the breadth of our offer. Great food, entertainment, tailored activities and first-class conference facilities

The use of smartphones in India has exploded in the last couple of years and will continue to increase, that makes it possible to develop and reach people with services like this. The need for simpler medical assistance is big in rural areas and if that can be managed online, many lives will be saved.

We are now expanding our congress series in advanced materials to include spectroscopy and electrochemistry. This is a step in our aim to get people from different fields of research closer together, making it possible to achieve great things and creating a better world for everyone.
