These include the school on Loop Quantum Gravity, 2nd Complex systems school, ATM workshops on Topology of Manifolds and Analytic Number Theory at IMSc. The off-site conference organization by IMSc faculty continue to vigorous. This academic year the conference organized outside are : Mathematical Physics symposium at the RMS annual conference, Interactive Training camp at IMA Bhubaneswar, Annual Foundation School, Data to Theory approach to LHC physics, Structural aspects of Rationality, Molecular Motors, Tracks and Transport, Formal Theories of Communication, Italy - India conference on Diophantine equations and analytic number theory, Instructional workshop on graph colourings and the Arhus-Chennai computational complexity workshop. The Subashish Nag Memorial lecture was given this year by Prof Georg Schumacher of the University of Marburg, Germany.
