For more than two decades now, the International Symposium on Advanced Materials (ISAM) has become a regular biennial event for the scientific community. Such events help to integrate international research activities enabling to meet the challenges posed by an ever changing future. ISAM strives to offer dynamic researchers an international milieu to share and discuss their achievements in the field of advanced materials, besides providing researchers an interlude from the monotony at their workplaces. All along, the forum also opens new vistas for young scientists and engineers as they interact with their highly experienced counterparts. The increasing number of European and South Asian experts bears testimony to the success of ISAM. As in preceding years, ISAM-2013 is expected to be the focal point of a large number of foreign and local delegates active in the field of materials science .
