About DAE CONCLAVEย
ย
Background
Since its inception on August 3, 1954, the primary mandate of the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) has been the development and deployment of nuclear technology for energy and national security and the application of radiation technologies in the fields of agriculture, health care, industry, and basic research. While carrying out its mandate, DAE has simultaneously developed and mastered several complex technologies in radio astronomy, supercomputing, particle accelerators, plasma, and cryogenics. Developing these complex technologies has always resulted from the departmentโs high-standard basic and applied research.
As the countryโs leading scientific department, DAE has substantially contributed to several national and international programs. Considering the above development of the department over seven decades, DAE has sought an annual conclave to celebrate its scientific accomplishments and plan for the future. Thus, DAE planned to host landmark event and inaugural Conclave at NISER Bhubaneswar was held from October 22-26, 2024, as a part of its Platinum Jubilee Celebration. This event provided a platform for experts and participants from all the DAE units and its aided institutions to showcase their scientific and technological accomplishments.
To continue celebrating DAE achivements in its annual conclave, DAE will host its 2nd Conclave (DAEC2026) at TIFR, Mumbaiย from January 14 to January 18, 2026.
DAEC2026 will serve as a focal point for discussions on the latest advancements in diverse applications of nuclear science and technology, encompassing critical areas such as energy security, healthcare, food security, water security, waste management, and cutting-edge technologies including unique and critical materials, advance computational technology including quantum Computing, 3D printing technology, mining and processing of atomic minerals and basic and applied research in connected areas. Notably, the participation of around 500 scientists, experts, and more than 50 exhibitors will enhance the experience by showcasing state-of-the-art equipment and services related to nuclear science and technology for societal benefits. Moreover, DAEC2026 will contextualize these results against the backdrop of the global target for achieving net-zero carbon emissions and addressing the escalating Indiaโs energy demand in the forthcoming years. In addition, DAEC2026 will also create platforms to provide solutions for Food Security and Health Care through Nuclear Energy for Indiaโs 1.6 billion population by mid-century. In doing so, DAEC2026 will contribute to defining a path forward in the dynamic landscape of nuclear energy research and technology application.
Purpose and Objectives
