    Virtual Meeting All times correspond to US Eastern Time Zone 95th CSSS Co-Chairs Matthew Helgeson, University of California, Santa Barbara Sibani Lisa Biswal, Rice University Ramanathan Nagarajan, DEVCOM Soldier Center 1 Welcome Message from 95th CSSS Co-Chairs Matthew Helgeson Sibani Lisa Biswal Ramanathan Nagarajan University of California – Rice University DEVCOM Soldier Center Santa Barbara Welcome to the 95th Colloid and Surface Science symposium (CSSS) and the experience of a virtual environment for exchange of ideas. The ACS Colloid and Surface Science Symposium got its start in 1923, with the first symposium built around the work of Theodor Svedberg, Nobel laureate recognized for his research on colloids and proteins using the ultracentrifuge. Since then the summer colloid symposium has continued to be organized every year except in 1933 because of the Great Depression and 1943-45 because of World War II. The availability of virtual meeting platforms, has made possible both the 2020 and the 2021 symposia, in spite of the devastation from COVID-19 pandemic dominating globally. The 95th CSSS will highlight advances in colloid and surface science and its intersections with diverse scientific and technological domains through 16 thematic technical symposia, a fundamental research/general papers symposium and a poster symposium. The 95th CSSS will feature two plenary lectures, by Maria Santore (U Mass) and Catherine Murphy (Illinois). There will be two Unilever award lectures by Sujit Datta (Princeton) and Lilian Xiao (NC State), the 2020 and 2021 winners recognized for fundamental work in colloid or surfactant science carried out in North America by researchers in the early stages of their careers.

I National Issues 1. Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission The Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission, also known as simply National Solar Mission, is a major initiative of the Government of India and State Governments to promote ecologically sustainable growth while addressing India’s energy security challenge. It will also constitute a major contribution by India to the global effort to meet the challenges of climate change. This is one of the several initiatives that are part of National Action Plan on Climate Change. The program was officially inauguratedby Prime Minister of India, Manmohan Singh. Goals : The objective of the National Solar Mission is to establish India as a global leader in solar energy, by creating the policy conditions for its diffusion across the country as quickly as possible. The immediate aim of the Mission is to focus on setting up an enabling environment for solar technology penetration in the country both at a centralized and decentralized level. The first phase (up to 2013) will focus on capturing of the low hanging options in solar thermal; on promoting off-grid systems to serve populations without access to commercial energy and modest capacity addition in grid-based systems. In the second phase, after taking into account the experience of the initial years, capacity will be aggressively ramped up to create conditions for up scaled and competitive solar energy penetration in the country.
