Here we come, first day of ISEA 15 at PRL
Unlike other ISEA meetings that I attended before, this one requires check-in and check-out by scanning our budge twice a day!
It was the opening ceremony of our conference. As expected it was Indian style very ceremonial with the presence of ex-chairman of ISRO (Indian Scientific Research Organization) as guest of honor. He gave us very brief impressive journey of ISRO. We (the scientific organizing committee members) were also honored at the opening ceremony and received a token of appreciation for our effort in organizing this meeting. BTW, I never seen a scientist escorted by policemen with machine gun before, except ISRO’s ex-chairman.
In my career as a scientist, the first time I saw a scientist (ex-ISRO chair) escorted by security force with a machine gun!
Recognition for MSO members at the opening ceremony!
At work!
At the PRL Director's dinner reception!
At the evening, right after the dinner hosted by the director of PRL, where we’re having the meeting, we were taken to the open amphitheater which is owned and managed by the daughter of the Dr Vikram Sarabhai, the founder of PRL or the Indian calls him the father of Indian space science technology. His daughter and her team showed us the history of Indian dancing style with impressive depictions.
