The 18^th Chandigarh Science Congress (CHASCON) will take place at Panjab University from November 06 - 08, 2025. Introduced in 2007, CHASCON has grown into a major national conference that brings together young researchers, experienced faculty, industry professionals, and policymakers from across India and beyond. CHASCON provides a platform for sharing research, exchanging fresh ideas, and finding innovative scientific and technological solutions to realworld problems. This year's theme, "Empowering Humanity: Science, Technology, and Healthcare for All," puts the spotlight on the crucial role of scientific discovery and technological advancements in improving lives and ensuring access to quality healthcare for everyone.

Across three days, CHASCON 2025 will feature plenary lectures by leading scientists, engaging panel discussions, and a series of oral and poster presentations by students, scholars, and researchers. The program also includes an interactive industry expo, special innovation competitions, and opportunities for researchers to display their latest work. Organized in partnership with the Chandigarh Region Innovation and Knowledge Cluster (CRIKC), the event strengthens the bridge between academia, industry, and government. By bringing together participants from multiple disciplines and backgrounds, CHASCON nurtures scientific curiosity, encourages collaboration, and builds a vibrant network dedicated to transforming society through knowledge and innovation. We encourage students, researchers, and professionals to participate in CHASCON 2025 and help shape a future where science, technology, and healthcare truly empower every individual.
