INSC discourse on physics goes online \
The 45th ‘International Nathiagali Summer College (INSC) on Physics and Contemporary Needs’ was inaugurated on Monday to give opportunity to the young and senior scientists of Pakistan as well as the developing world to interact and have scientific discourse through webinars. The INSC was inaugurated by PAEC Chairman Muhammad Naeem, said a news release. INSC was a yearly activity being organised regularly since 1976 by Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC). Naeem appreciated the efforts of the organisers of INSC to hold this scientific discourse through webinars and continued the tradition of holding this college on regular basis because, unlike the previous years, Covid-19 made it impossible to gather participants from around the world at one place. The INSC 2020 will cover six technical activities including applications of synchrotron radiation, the modern trends and techniques for exploration of minerals, pulsed power technology and applications, laser produced plasmas and its applications, renewable energy, environmental monitoring, advances in medical physics and biomedical optics. The distinguished faculty of INSC consists of 28 speakers from abroad like Austria, Brazil, China, France, Germany, Japan, UK, Turkey, USA and other countries.
