Bahra University to Host National Conference on Advanced Materials and Simulation Techniques on September 10-11

Bahra University, Shimla Hills, will host a two-day national conference on Advanced Materials and Simulation Techniques for a Sustainable Future (AMSTSF 2026) on September 10 and 11. The conference is being organised by the university's School of Basic Sciences in association with the Electron Microscope Society of India (North Zone).

The conference will be held at the campus of Bahra University, Waknaghat, Solan, HP. The event will feature discussions on advanced materials, characterisation techniques, computational modelling and simulation, nanotechnology, energy materials and sustainable technologies, the organisers said.

The programme will feature keynote and invited speakers, technical sessions, oral and poster presentations, and academic networking opportunities. The conference aims to give a forum for the presentation of research and discussion of advances in materials science and simulation techniques, the organisers have said.

The conference will also feature research presentations from the participants. The organising team announced that original research contributions on the conference themes were invited from researchers, faculty members, scientists, industry, postdoctoral researchers and students. The abstract deadline was August 15 and the registration deadline was August 31.

Selected research papers will also be published, the organisers have announced. The papers that meet the required standards and pass the appropriate peer-review process will be considered for publication in Interactions, a Springer Nature journal, through the journal's editorial review process. The announcement states that the journal is Scopus-indexed and that the journal will be published in a subscription or open access format, depending on the process and author's choice.

The conference is taking place in the context of the increasing research interest in the development of advanced materials and computational methods for use in energy and sustainable technologies. The organisers have pinpointed materials science, simulation, nanotechnology, energy materials and sustainability as topics to be covered at the event.

The conference will also offer opportunities for researchers and students to share ideas and build academic and research links, the announcement added, said Bahra University. The university has announced the event on its official social media platforms and the website of the conference is amstsf2026.bushimla.in. 

The conference will be held at Bahra University, Waknaghat, Solan on September 10 and 11 organised by the School of Basic Sciences and in association with the Electron Microscope Society of India (North Zone).
