Greetings from IIT Bombay!

It is my pleasure to invite you to the above mentioned event. Thanks to the active participation of its alumni, IIT Bombay has been a pioneer in establishing the FAN network with the sole purpose of attracting researchers from across the globe to develop solutions to some of the most pressing challenges in science and technology. The FAN meeting brings together IITB faculty as well as IITB Alumni that are in faculty positions in the US (as well as industrial researchers on both sides), to meet and deliberate on emerging areas of research, and nucleate collaborative programs. We cordially invite you to participate in the 2022 edition of the FAN meeting being held in the US.

We envision being amongst the top 50 institutions in the world within the next decade and believe that accomplished individuals such as yourself can play a key role in this journey. We would be delighted to host you at the meeting and look forward to a fruitful engagement.
