14th International High Energy Materials Conference & Exhibits
'Expedition towards excellence in energetics'
1-3 February 2024
The conference
High Energy Materials Society of India (HEMSI) is a professional body consisting of scientists and engineers, passionate in science and technology pertaining to High Energy Materials (HEM) including propellants, high explosives and pyrotechnics. HEMSI is organizing the 14th International High Energy Materials Conference and Exhibits (HEMCE 2024), at Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, India, during 01 – 03 February 2024.
HEMSI founded in 1983 at Pune, has been in the forefront in showcasing the latest and the best in HEM. HEM is an exciting engineering and technology domain with proprietary designs and products. In the last twenty years, research and application in the field of HEM have advanced significantly due to several factors including advances in complementary domains, availability of new materials, better assessment and modeling techniques and demands from new operational requirements. These advancements and the current demands call for detailed understanding of this field to permit more effective use of established materials and new materials with special properties as well as to aid future-proofing through innovation in an age of disruption.
Venue
HEMCE 2024 will be held in Travancore International Convention Centre (TICC), Trivandrum having world class facilities for conducting international conferences.
