First established in 1971 in Cambridge, UK, the scope of the iCOMET meetings is to discuss the recent progress in our understanding of the interactions and energy transfer that are central to various chemical and physical processes. The conference brings together scientists from all over the world to discuss the state-of-the-art experimental and theoretical studies of the key dynamical events in molecular systems.
The topics covered include:
The city of Jaipur is the capital of Rajasthan state, about 226 kms from New Delhi airport.
First established in 1971 in Cambridge, UK, the scope of the iCOMET meetings is to discuss the recent progress in our understanding of the interactions and energy transfer that are central to various chemical and physical processes. While the initial studies focused on the energy transfer in small molecules in the gas-phase, the field has now grown investigating complex processes that happen in the condensed phase, at interfaces in heterogeneous environments, and biological systems.

Another way to reach Jaipur from Delhi is by road. New Delhi airport to Shiv Vilas Resorts is about 225 kms which takes about 4 hours by road. If we start by 09:00 on 12 November, we should be able to reach Shiv Vilas by 14:00 including a coffee break. Depending on the arrival time, one could travel in groups of 4 which would cost about US$30 (₹2,500) per person when shared.
It would be convenient if you arrive at New Delhi on 11 November and stay at one of the airport hotels and take a cab to Jaipur on 12 November.
