About RMC
Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata ‘C. V. Raman’ (1888–1970) was a distinguished Indian physicist best known for discovering the Raman Effect in 1928, which revealed that a small fraction of scattered light changes its wavelength when passing through a transparent material. This landmark discovery significantly advanced the understanding of light–matter interactions. In recognition of this work, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1930, becoming the first Asian Nobel laureate in physics.
In memory of Sir C. V. Raman and his immense contributions to science, research scholars of the Department of Physics, Savitribai Phule Pune University organize the Raman Memorial Conference (RMC) every year, with themes dedicated to celebrating historic milestones or foundational theories in the development of science. Initiated in 1994, RMC has now grown into a national-level event. It is a two-day annual conference enriched with invited talks, poster presentations, and oral presentations. Eminent scientists from diverse fields are invited to deliver talks, fostering meaningful interaction between researchers and students. Over the years, the conference has grown steadily and continues to serve as a platform to encourage young researchers in physical sciences and other related topics to present their research work, exchange ideas, and gain valuable insights through interaction with experts. RMC provides scientific exposure, fosters networking, and recognizes excellence through awards, while actively contributing to the evolution of research and innovation.
RMC 2026 Theme
“Celebrating 100 Years of Schrödinger’s Equation & Its Timeless Impact”
Nearly a century ago, the Schrödinger equation transformed our understanding of matter, energy, and the microscopic world. What began as a theoretical idea has since become the foundation of many technologies that shape modern life. As quantum mechanics enters its second century, its influence continues to expand across materials science, nanotechnology, photonics, quantum computing, advanced mechanical systems and other disciplines. From explaining electron behavior in solids to enabling the design of smart and quantum-enabled materials, quantum principles remain central to scientific and technological innovation.
With this inspiration, RMC 2026 brings together researchers, academicians, and students to engage in meaningful discussions on emerging scientific ideas and technological advancements. The conference offers a collaborative platform for sharing insights, highlighting recent developments, and fostering interdisciplinary interactions across fundamental and applied sciences. RMC 2026 encourages students to explore new perspectives, build connections, and grow through discussions that link physics with materials science and evolving technologies.
Join us at RMC 2026, where ideas interfere, knowledge resonates, and innovation emerges.!!!
