About the Conference

Innovation in Science is always needed in the society to make people healthy and happy. As per requirements of the time, interconnection and interdisciplinary research findings are creating opportunities for the researchers. There are various challenges and successes during innovative experiments. The International Conference themes are focused on very important topics of chemical science and its allied branches. This research area is based on analysis and interpretation of data and modeling of the theoretical concepts. Organizers have put enough effort to keep meaningful and outstanding talks of stalwarts of researchers/scientists around the globe for the young minds. 1st ICMSI conference was organized in 2020. In that 150+ participants presented research work. To continue research journey 2nd ICMSI will be held during 7th – 8th April 2025. For the presenters, there are four major tracks (but not limited) which cover the key areas of molecular structure and their applications through a variety of instrumental approaches. Conference organizers invite researchers to join and discuss their research findings.
