Government of India, Ministry of HRD, New Delhi, in order to promote the studies and researches in different disciplines of General Sciences and to enthuse the students, teachers and researchers in the country and to provide them incentives and orientations, conceived holding of Science Conclaves‐ A Congregation of Nobel Laureates and nationally and internationally acclaimed and accomplished scientists from the year 2008, on the pattern of that held at Lindau in Germany every year. Under this Scheme, nominated and selected students of UG, PG and Research disciplines in the Universities and Colleges across the country in general sciences like Physics, Mathematics, Chemistry, Botany and Zoology as well as Engineering and other similar sciences are invited for a weeklong discussion, interaction and dissemination session with the Nobel Laureates and other eminent scientists. Their to and fro travel to the Institute and logistics are financed by the Govt. IIIT‐A was chosen by the Govt. to host the first four Science Conclaves in the years 2008, 2009, 2010 & 2011 in series in the country.

The scientific programme of the Conclave comprises of interdisciplinary platform & forums of discussions, lectures, experiments, exhibition & video sessions deliberated by the Nobel Laureates, eminent scientists & researchers both from India & abroad addressing questions related to basic science research and application‐oriented themes. This unique conference format contributes to the generation of new ideas, encourages personal contacts, INSPIRES scientific endeavors over and beyond the norm, and enables the critical examination of scientific questions from a new point of view. An environment of Gurukul style of learning is adopted, whereby both formal and informal interactions take place so as to instill, counsel and given direction towards science education to the young inquisitive minds. To facilitate the interactions with Nobel Scientists, sessions are divided into two time‐zones.

Morning sessions comprises of formal addresses by the Nobel Laureates and their work for which they have been awarded highlighting their basic expertise, challenges faced, important findings and outcome with its final progress, to give the gathering an insight into the work already done in the specific areas in terms of research and development. These sessions are not just confined to their education frontier but beyond it such as the hardships & sacrifices that they and their families faced (which could not be acknowledged) thus giving the audience a familial feeling. Afternoon session comprises of informal get‐togethers and discussion with the Laureates where no limitations are set for the kind of questions to be handled. The following Nobel Laureates have graced the occasion as mentioned below:
