ICCM

About the Organizers

The Indian Carbon Society (ICS) established in 1979, among the first to acknowledged the significance of carbon materials in industrial and strategic applications. Subsequently the Hyderabad Chapter of the ICS was established in 2023 to serve as a dynamic regional arm of the national body. It plays a pivotal role in advancing the Society's mission by fostering innovation, facilitating collaboration, and accelerating technological progress in the Indian carbon science ecosystem and enhancing its global outreach.

International Advanced Research Centre for Powder Metallurgy and New Materials (ARCI) an autonomous Research and Development Centre of Department of Science and Technology (DST), Government of India with a unique mandate of development of high performance materials and processes, demonstration of process at prototype/pilot scale, transfer of technology to Indian Industry and technological solution to Indian industry and strategic sectors.

BITS Pilani Hyderabad campus is one of the premier technical and science institutes of higher learning in India. It was established by Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani (Rajasthan) as one of its latest campuses in the year 2008 BITS, Pilani is one of India’s top technical and science universities established under Sec. 3 of the UGC act.

About CACM-2026

Carbon materials have long been pivotal to technological advancement-ranging from classical forms like graphite, carbon black, and activated carbon, used extensively in metallurgy, rubber reinforcement, and filtration,  to today’s cutting-edge materials such as carbon fibers, nanotubes, graphene, and quantum dots etc. The Conference on Advanced Carbon Materials (CACM-2026), a flagship event jointly organized by the Hyderabad Chapter of the Indian Carbon Society, ARCI and BITS, holds immense national implication. It brings together leading scientists, technologists, and industry experts in carbon science and engineering in Hyderabad, a city emerging as a vital hub for aerospace, defense, electronics, and clean energy. The conference aims to foster collaboration across academia, industry, and research institutions; showcase transformative innovations; and to address strategic and national priorities in advanced carbon materials development. The Hyderabad Chapter of ICS, along with ARCI and BITS, is delighted to invite you to participate in this prestigious gathering. CACM-2026 serves as a vibrant platform for knowledge exchange, capacity building, and the promotion of innovations in carbon-based technologies. Aligned with the vision of the Viksit Bharat Mission, the conference aims to catalyze research, foster industry-academia collaboration, and reinforce India’s global leadership in advanced carbon science and sustainable technologies.
