Journeys in Particle Physics - Rohini Godbole Memorial Conference

13 Mar 2025, 09:00 → 15 Mar 2025, 17:30 Asia/Kolkata

Physical Sciences Auditorium (Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru, India)

We are honored to announce a 3-day memorial conference to celebrate the life and work of Prof. Rohini M. Godbole, a brilliant researcher, visionary leader, and champion of women in science. Prof. Godbole, an esteemed faculty member in our department, made groundbreaking contributions to the field of Particle Physics. Her dedication to academic excellence and mentorship inspired countless students, colleagues, and collaborators throughout her career.
Prof. Godbole's legacy extends beyond her scientific achievements. As a passionate advocate for women in science, she broke barriers and paved the way for future generations, leaving an indelible mark on the scientific community. Among her many accolades, she was honored with the prestigious Padmashri award for her exemplary contributions.
The memorial conference will be held from 13th to 15th March and will include prominent speakers, discussions, and tributes to reflect on her impact. An open session dedicated to honour the memory of Prof. Rohini will be held (Exact dates will be announced shortly). All other sessions will be exclusive to invited participants.
