Taking baton forward from the synergy of previous years’ prestigious international conferences (i.e., NanoSciTech 2012, NanoSciTech 2014, NanoSciTech 2016 and NanoSciTech 2017), the aim of ICONICA 2020 is to bring together the International community working in different domains of health care, and to provide a conducive milieu for presenting advancements and applications in the area of biomedical sciences.

Nearly a dozen of renowned scientists have already confirmed their presence & participation, with nearly half of them hailing from countries like USA, UK, Ireland, Korea, and Dubai. As witnessed during previous years’ conferences, more than 800 delegates from across the country and globe are anticipated to participate in the deliberations.

The Conference events will encompass plenary lectures, keynote talks, oral presentations and poster sessions, all demonstrating novel, effectual and cost‐effectual research outcomes, and the rich information pertaining to  diverse aspects of research in health care domains. The details of the conference are available at its website, www.iconica2020.in.

ICONICA (International Conference on Imminent Concerns and Applications) would be an integrated Panjab University platform to organize such global interdisciplinary meets on diverse topics, widely ranging from basic and applied sciences, engineering & technology, management, social sciences, humanities, perfirming arts, languages, and much beyond. 

ICONICA 2020, in this regard, is specifically aimed to cater to the challenges, concerns and applications in the specific but wide realms of health care. Panjab University, in this regard, has already proved its mettle in the areas of pharmaceutical, biomedical (Biochemistry, Biophysics, Microbial Biotechnology, Human Genome, Stem Cell, Public Health, System Biology etc.), coupled with Dental Sciences, and Surgery. Accordingly, in addition to Pharma, Dental and Biomedical Sciences, the Centres/ Departments of Management (UBS, UIAMS and UIHMT), Engineering (UIET and UICET), Defence Studies, Microbial Biotechnology, Chemistry, Psychology, Forensic Sciences, Nanotechnology, Anthropology, Geology, Zoology, etc. have also been dynamically involved.
