The Lithuanian Academy of Sciences Division of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry, Division of Technical Sciences, the Visoriai Information Technology Park and the association INFOBALT are organizing the 13th LAS Young Scientists' Conference "Interdisciplinary Research in Physical Sciences and Technology".
The aim of the Young Scientists' Conference is to share the research carried out by young scientists in the fields of natural sciences and technology and their intersections, to foster collaboration between young scientists, and to review issues of common scientific interest.
Suitable topics for the conference include physical, biophysical, chemical, biochemical, materials science, mathematics, astronomy or space research. Also, topics related to national defence, quantum technologies, electronics, computer science, mechanics, energy, civil engineering research.
The conference will be organized in two thematic sections: physical sciences and technological sciences. Speakers are invited to present the results of their scientific research and development activities enabling the development and updating of the nomenclature of products/services, the improvement of technologies and their production and deployment in domestic and foreign markets, and studies on the impact of digitisation and digital technologies on economic and social activities.
