India is a founder-member country to participate in the construction of international multipurpose accelerator facility called the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) at Darmstadt, Germany. Bose Institute, Kolkata, an autonomous R&D institute under the Department of Science and Technology, Govt. Of India, has been designated as the Indian shareholder of the FAIR GmbH and the nodal Institution for the coordination of Indian participation in FAIR. Indo-FAIR Co-ordination Centre (IFCC) has been established at Bose Institute, Kolkata for implementation of India- FAIR programme.
This facility is an international effort to create an unique state-of-the-art centre for the advancement of knowledge in astrophysics, high-energy physics, nuclear physics, plasma physics and biophysics under the same roof. Indian researchers, engineers and students from various Institutes and Universities across the country would participate in various experiments planned at FAIR. India, along with other share holder countries, is responsible for the establishment of this facility. To this end, various customized and state of the art equipment need to designed, fabricated and supplied to FAIR facility at Germany. Indian industries, therefore, become part of the development of state-of-the art technologies through our in-kind deliverables. This will help our industries to grow and compete in the ever-increasing International market related to accelerator physics and other such mega activities.
CAENspa India is proud to have been invited to participate in such meeting and to joint such high level symposium!
